We are seeking a Scientist II with hands-on experience in lipid nanoparticle (LNP) formulation within the biopharmaceutical industry. The ideal candidate will have practical experience encapsulating nucleic acids, including mRNA, siRNA, or DNA, into LNPs and optimizing formulation processes. Experience with T-mixer and NanoAssemblr systems is highly preferred. The candidate should also have experience characterizing LNP formulations, analyzing experimental data, and supporting formulation development activities.
Key Responsibilities:
Perform hands-on lipid nanoparticle formulation for nucleic acid delivery applications. Encapsulate nucleic acids, including mRNA, siRNA, or DNA, into LNPs. Support formulation development, process optimization, and experimental troubleshooting. Operate LNP formulation equipment, preferably T-mixer and NanoAssemblr systems. Perform LNP characterization and analyze experimental results. Document experiments, interpret data, and communicate findings to project teams. Follow laboratory procedures and applicable safety and quality practices.
Required Qualifications:
Hands-on LNP formulation experience in the biopharmaceutical industry. Practical experience with nucleic acid encapsulation, including mRNA, siRNA, or DNA. Experience supporting formulation development or process optimization. Ability to work on-site.
Preferred Qualifications:
Experience using T-mixer and NanoAssemblr systems. Experience with LNP characterization and data analysis. Bachelor's or Master's degree in a relevant scientific discipline preferred. PhD candidates with at least one year of hands-on LNP formulation experience may be considered.
