Work alongside QC to ensure successful method validation at contract facilities; lead troubleshooting efforts as necessary. Partner with Lundbeck research to influence the design of potency assays and the selection of cell lines. Prepare and qualify cell banks for cell-based bioassays; collaborate with QC to establish and qualify GMP analytical cell banks at contract labs. Supervise routine analytical testing and coordinate study support across QC and Process Development teams. Manage routine maintenance of laboratory equipment and the critical reagent program for potency methods. Develop and maintain processes for monitoring assay performance.

Assist in preparing CMC regulatory submissions, including authoring and reviewing documentation.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

Ph.D. or M.S. in cell biology, molecular biology, biochemistry, or a related field with extensive relevant experience. Strong technical expertise in leading the development and optimization of potency assays, with a solid grasp of transfer and validation requirements for QC. In-depth knowledge of cGMP regulations, compendial standards, and regulatory requirements for potency assays. Ability to translate mechanisms of action into cell-based assays. Proven capability to manage laboratory work and data independently, including proficiency in data and statistical analysis. Familiarity with statistical methods for evaluating potency data. Proficient in common software and data analysis tools. Excellent communication, technical, and organizational skills. Strong critical thinking, troubleshooting abilities, and attention to detail.
