The incumbent will participate in the formulation and process development of biotherapeutics. This position will be responsible for performing analytical testing and characterization of candidate molecules by using various biophysical, biochemical and particulates characterization techniques as well as supporting laboratory operations and maintenance. This is a laboratory-based position performing formulation and process development activities specifically for biotherapeutic products from pre-clinical and Ph I clinical trials through late stage, license application and commercialization. Furthermore, this position will assist in data compilation, data presentations, report authoring, and department documentation support. The successful candidate will also be taking on a leadership role, overseeing two additional individual contributors in the facility.
 RESPONSIBILITIES:
The responsibilities of this position include, but are not limited to:Support the development of parenteral formulations for biotherapeutic modalities such as monoclonal antibodies, antibody drug conjugates, proteins, mRNA and vaccines.Perform rapid, comprehensive characterization of candidate molecules to determine the stability profile. This will be achieved by applying various biophysical, biochemical, particulates characterization techniques such as HPLC (SE-HPLC, IEX, HIC, RP-HPLC), Capillary Gel electrophoresis (CGE), imaged Capillary Electrophoresis (iCE), Spectroscopy techniques, light obscuration, microflow imaging and additional characterization techniques.Provide general laboratory support, including ordering/replacement of reagents and consumables, general maintenance of equipment, continuous improvement activities, and participating in periodic lab inspections.The incumbent must be able to interact effectively with a multidisciplinary team of scientists for formulation optimization and overall candidate progression.This position will be responsible for preparing data summary presentations, providing data verification support, compiling data, and using lab-based systems for data collection such as Empower and electronic laboratory notebooks.Effective communication skills are required for interactions with laboratory scientists, project managers and colleagues from numerous functions.Leadership Responsibilities:Supports and monitors the performance of the team of employeesMay participate in new hire interviewsSupports the on-boarding process of new employeesDisseminate administrative communicationsDemonstrate and promote the company's visionEnsure adherence to highest quality and efficiency standards in laboratory operations Ensure coverage and performance for all shifts, and work duties Performs administrative tasks for team member growth and developmentAdeptly balance technical lab work with leadership responsibilitiesFoster morale and teamwork
