Research Scientist, Bioanalytical

Responsibilities

The meaningful work you will be asked to do :

Protein Characterization : Work closely with cell culture scientists to develop bioanalytical characterization tools. Evaluate protein stability, aggregation, and degradation during production.

Contribute to the development of robust characterization strategies.

Chromatography : Apply chromatographic principles to analyze complex samples, including proteins, peptides, nucleic acids, and small molecules.

Optimize chromatographic separations for resolution, and sensitivity. Troubleshoot chromatographic systems and method development challenges.

Drive prototype technology and provide proof of concept experimental evaluations on process sampling, analysis and data interpretation and analysis.

Contribute to the development of process analytical technology for bioprocess monitoring and control.

• Develop a deep understanding of customer needs and feed this information to develop next generation scientific instrumentation.
• Identify, champion, and develop new scientific ideas whilst advising on existing research and development activities.
