  • Experience in the development, DOE robustness, and qualification and/or validation of release potency and impurity methods (immunoassays and qPCR).
  • Strong technical understanding of link between MOA and analytical method development, and effects of impurities on biological manufacturing processes.
  • Experience in areas of technology development pertinent to impurities and potency assay development, including but not limited to assay automation and miniaturization and monitoring and characterization of diverse HCP’s.
  • Experience developing and applying biological characterization methods (e.g. cell-based assays, SPR/BLI or other protein binding kinetic assays, immunoassays, homogeneous assay formats such as AlphaLISA).

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience utilizing industry-standard analysis software (e.g. SoftMax Pro, JMP).
  • Development of liquid-handling automation applications.
  • Experience with early & late stage regulatory filings.
  • Experience with kinetic assay development (SPR, BLI, etc).
