Associate Scientist (R01) - Bioprocess R&D - (Durham, NC)

Role Description The Gene Therapy area of the Bioprocess R&D department is responsible for the development of GMP manufacturing processes for our gene therapy products. As a member of the Bioprocess R&D development department, the Associate Scientist in Upstream process development is responsible for designing and executing mammalian cell bioreactor experiments in bench-top bioreactors and associated scale-down equipment with the goal of developing robust, scalable, and high productivity processes that produce viral vectors with the appropriate product quality to treat human disease. The work will also involve working with pilot scale, commercial and clinical production facilities to ensure accurate technology transfer and successful large-scale production. You may also be involved in cutting edge technology development projects that seek to discover broadly applicable methods to intensify mammalian cell culture. Responsibilities
