    Default job background
    Description

    Today, Lonza is a global leader in life sciences operating across three continents. While we work in science, there's no magic formula to how we do it. Our greatest scientific solution is talented people working together, devising ideas that help businesses to help people. In exchange, we let our people own their careers. Their ideas, big and small, genuinely improve the world. And that's the kind of work we want to be part of.

    Role Purpose:

It also requires ability to analyze and interpret complex data and to develop, optimise and troubleshoot analytical methods applying a QbD approach. The incumbent will be responsible for oversight and execution of the scientific activities of the team, which will include elements of laboratory work, scientific review and coaching, project leadership & management, professional mentoring, technology scouting and driving implementation of new technologies within the Lonza network.

  • Detailed knowledge and practical application of liquid chromatography (SEC, IEX, HILIC, HIC, RP, affinity), mass spectrometry (LC-MS, LC-MS/MS), other separation methods (icIEF, CE-SDS) for protein analysis, and QbD for method development
  • Thorough understanding of the state of the art technologies and its applications for protein analysis, including charge and size variant analysis, titer measurement, glycosylation analysis, product related impurities and determination of post-translational modifications (PTMs)
  • Experience with a variety of protein formats, e.g. mAbs, bispecific Abs, fusion proteins and complex glycoproteins
  • Research focused, with a keen interest in innovation within the biologics area
  • A good general background in established analytical methods within the industry, including the strengths and weaknesses of various approaches
  • Documented history of high-quality publications / patent filings in the field of Protein Chemistry
