Process development consists of a USP and a DSP department and is responsible for the development of scalable, pharmaceutical-grade production processes for viral vaccines using mammalian cell lines as a production platform. Novel technologies are used to make sure that the processes are safe, reliable, scalable and cost-effective, so that the vaccines can be produced in large quantities at low costs. The developed production processes are transferred into GMP production facilities for the production of clinical batches and scaled-up for commercial production. All activities are performed in close collaboration with other departments.
We are looking for a motivated Assistant Scientist within the field of Downstream Process development (DSP). Under limited supervision, but as part of a team, you will plan, prepare and execute scientific studies. Typical unit operations include filtration, chromatography and UF/DF. Experiments may be performed on pilot scale or in reduced-scale models.
