Your work will increase throughput, data quality, and process consistency under highly regulated GMP conditions.

Your tasks and responsibilities:

• Design, optimize, and transfer analytical methods, especially in vitro cell-based bioassays (e.g., expression assays, reporter gene assays, targeted killing assays) and other technologies (e.g., qPCR, ddPCR)
• Independent performance of reagent qualification, assay validation, sample analysis and test method transfers under good scientific practice and GMP to support release and stability studies especially for early pharmaceutical development of tLNPs
• Self-dependent authorship of laboratory reports and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) in English, including documentation for automated systems, development, and validation reports.
• Coordinate GMP-relevant laboratory tasks, serve as equipment subject matter expert, oversee equipment qualification. Communicate effectively in meetings and teleconferences, collaborate across sites and departments, and promote best practices in laboratory automation.
