Research Associate - Reagent Development

Donaldson is committed to solving the world's most complex filtration challenges. Together, we make cool things. As an established technology and innovation leader, we are continuously evolving to meet the filtration needs of our changing world.

Join a culture of collaboration and innovation that matters and a chance to learn, effect change, and make meaningful contributions at work and in communities.

Isolere Bio, Inc. located in Research Triangle Park, NC, is one of Donaldson's latest addition to a growing list of biotechnology initiatives.

Isolere Bio develops reagents that combine engineered biopolymers with tunable phase separation, with affinity ligands that confer the unique material properties to the biologic target of interest.

The company offers a growing portfolio of purification solutions for a wide range of biologics, including AAV, lentivirus, mRNA, plasmid DNA and other viral particles.

This portfolio of IsoTag reagents are first of their kind and will catalyze a paradigm shift in bioprocessing. They offer significant competitive advantages - improving productivity and quality while reducing the overall cost of goods for increasingly complex biologic drugs. www.isolerebio.com

Combining Isolere's deep expertise in liquid phase separation, and Donaldson's filtration technology expertise, and global sales and manufacturing footprint, we are on a fast-track to develop and commercialize Isolere's novel affinity liquid phase separation reagents for biologics purification.
