job description
Sr. Scientist, Cell Biology
job summary:
This role is responsible for driving the future of the company by developing innovative products designed to improve patient lives. This role is tasked with working on research on behalf of the rest of the R&D organization and will keenly focus on technology fields that are adjacent and transformational to core products.
This specialist role is for a highly collaborative candidate who is vastly knowledgeable about the cryogenics of biological material, and the cold chain, storage, and distribution networks utilized by advanced therapies manufacturers. The role will be expected to interface with both externally with clinicians, researchers, regulators, and biotech companies as well as internally with Sales, Marketing and Scientific teams to identify the unmet packaging and delivery needs for these new pharmaceuticals.
In collaborating across this wide array of stakeholders, the candidate would use the insights gained to design and execute experimental studies. These will include establishing best practice using current products as well as establishing future advanced therapy packaging requirements. These will inform development decisions for next generation containment and delivery systems to be developed in the coming years.
