Job Tittle: Biologist Location: Worcester MA 01604 Duration: 12 Months Work Arrangement: Fully onsite Position Summary: This position is in the Biologics Purification Development team of the Product Development Science & Technology department. The candidate will be involved with all aspects of protein purification and protein chemistry to support biopharmaceutical process development. Key Responsibilities: Execute high through put scale down robotic purification as part of early and late stage process development, viral clearance, process characterization, and continuous process improvement studies. Perform basic data acquisition and analysis, and documentation in electric lab notebooks. Will develop economical, robust steps for recovering the target protein from bioreactor harvests using chromatography, filtration, and other separation techniques; developing downstream purification processes to be transferred to manufacturing; and perform laboratory scale process characterization studies. Perform various bioanalytical assays, including HPLC, ELISAs and SDS-PAGE, to aid in rapid process development. The candidate must possess strong written, oral, and collaborative skills in order to effectively communicate experimental procedures and results. As appropriate, the candidate may supply technical support for pilot and/or GMP manufacturing of clinical materials.
