Your new role

• Characterise and identify impurities in drug substances and products.
• Identify protein sequences and post-translational modifications, such as glycosylation.
• Assist in the development of drug substances and products by characterising process intermediates.
• Develop characterisation methods for ImmTAX and other products, including peptide mapping (LC-MS/MS) and intact mass analysis.
• Design and execute biochemical characterisations, chemical stability assessments, and comparability studies of biologics and drug products.
• Contribute to the creation of study protocols and reports.
• Independently test and lead lines of investigation.
• Propose new experiments based on emerging data and relevant information.
• Set work priorities for oneself and team-based projects. Make prioritisation decisions based on team, department, and project goals using direct evidence and experience.
