Job Description
As a Scientist specializing in Nanoparticle Generation, you will play a crucial role in the development and optimization of our nanoparticle platform technology. Your work will directly contribute to advancing our pipeline of therapies aimed at treating a wide range of immune-mediated and inflammatory conditions. This role will also involve supporting GLP, and Phase I/II GMP manufacture of Nanoparticles and associated drug substances.
Key Responsibilities:
- Develop, optimize, and characterize novel nanoparticles designed to encapsulate disease-specific antigens for immune modulation.
- Conduct detailed physicochemical and biophysical characterization of nanoparticles to ensure optimal performance.
- Innovate and improve processes for large-scale nanoparticle production, ensuring reproducibility, scalability, and compliance with regulatory standards.
- Work closely with cross-functional teams including immunologists, chemists, and formulation scientists to integrate nanoparticle design with immune-modifying strategies.
- Analyze experimental data, interpret results, and contribute to the publication of findings in scientific journals and presentations at conferences.
- Ensure that all research and development activities comply with applicable regulatory standards and guidelines.
Qualifications
- M.S or higher degree in Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Biochemistry, Materials Science, or related field.
- Proven experience in nanoparticle formulation, with a focus on therapeutic applications in immune-mediated diseases and prior industry and PLGA experience is plus.
- Strong background in nanoparticle synthesis, characterization techniques (e.g., DLS, SEM, UV-Vis, HPLC, FTIR) and experience with encapsulation of biological molecules.
- Ability to work in a multidisciplinary environment, with excellent communication and teamwork skills.
- Demonstrated ability to develop novel approaches to nanoparticle design and overcome complex technical challenges.
