Advise and review upstream expression workflows in mammalian and insect systems (HEK293, CHO, Sf9), ensuring reproducibility and scalability. Lead downstream purification strategies using modern chromatography platforms (affinity, IEX, SEC) and contribute to process optimization. Develop and interpret analytical assays, including ELISA, BLI, DSF, HPLC-SEC, and related QC methods, to assess protein quality, stability, and activity. Mentor and supervise associates and junior scientists, ensuring rigorous documentation, data integrity, and efficient lab execution. Collaborate across departments to align on construct design principles, process strategies, and project execution. Perform bench work when necessary to support critical experiments, troubleshooting, or method development. Requirements Ph.D. in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Biotechnology, or related field, with 5+ years of industrial experience in recombinant protein and antibody production.
