  • Establish appropriate set-points and ranges leading to robust and repeatable process performance.
  • Support pilot and clinical manufacturing as needed.
  • Challenge current paradigm to significantly improve cell culture productivity, process yield and efficiency through implementation of new technologies, optimization of platforms and improved raw materials.
  • Operate automated and semi-automated small and pilot-scale bioreactors and protein purification systems.
  • Utilize high-throughput cell culture and purification equipment such as ambr15, ambr250, and Tecan liquid handlers.
  • Perform process scale-up to pilot or clinical manufacturing scale equipment using engineering principles.
  • Perform in-process analytical testing using Nova, cell counters, Solo VPE, Octet and other technologies.
