Summary

Skills:10+ years laboratory experience
  • Perform sandwich ELISA (RNA synthetase and RNA polymerase lysates) and Bradford total protein assays on raw material lysates and in-process samples to support process characterization and process development studies.
  • Perform additional protein analysis as needed, including GFP activity assays, Capillary Western (Jess and Leo), and A280/SoloVPE.
  • Execute method fit-for-purpose studies (accuracy, repeatability, intermediate precision) and support drafting and revision of test methods.
  • Qualify and bridge critical reagents (antibodies, reference standards, assay controls) and maintain reagent inventory.
  • Maintain good documentation practices for recording experimental plans and results in the electronic lab notebook (Benchling) and associated reports.
  • Assist in troubleshooting of instrumentation, assay variability, and test results.
  • Participate in group meetings, present results of work, interpret data, and report results in an accurate manner.
  • Work with lab automation to create high throughput methods leveraging liquid handling and robotic technologies, including automated ELISA on the Tecan EVO.
  • Work in collaboration with other scientists/SMEs to design experiments, train backup analysts, and advance more powerful analytical techniques.

 

 

Education:BS in Biology/Chemistry or related field
  • BS. in Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Biochemistry, or related field with minimum 5 years relevant industry experience; MS with minimum 3 years industry experience in Pharma/Biotech industry required.
  • Strong technical understanding in analytical chemistry and biochemistry. Hands-on proficiency with plate-based immunoassays (ELISA) and colorimetric protein assays (e.g., Bradford, BCA); experience with HPLC, CE-SDS, or Western blotting is a plus.
  • Experience with method qualification or validation activities, and accurate data analysis and interpretation of experimental results related to process characterization.
  • Ability to think critically and demonstrate troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.
  • Maintain accurate records of experimental procedures, results and conclusion in compliance with regulatory guidelines.
  • Team player, proactive and willing to work in a collaborative team environment.
  • Scientific creativity and curiosity for applying new technologies to complex analytical challenges; experience with liquid-handler programming (Tecan, Biomek) preferred.
