Senior Scientist, Cell Culture

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.

Did you know that we are the 1st biologics contract manufacturer in Singapore? We offer you exposure to upcoming biotech and established pharmaceutical companies and to the manufacturing technology needed to produce mammalian treatments and cell therapies of tomorrow. Our global manufacturing network is recognized for its reliable, high-quality services, regulatory track record, global footprint, innovative technology platforms and extensive experience – we, in Singapore are proud to be part of this global network.

• Perform hands-on laboratory work in the cell line and upstream process development team contributing to the development of processes suitable for technology transfer to the cGMP manufacturing teams. An understanding of cGMP manufacturing facility constraints and their impact on development activities will be developed.

• Contribute to process validation / characterization activities by performing supporting laboratory scale studies, employing DOE methodologies.

• Interpret analytical data provided by the analytical team to define subsequent steps.

• Deliver high quality communication to ensure an outstanding customer experience (written reports, telecons, face to face meetings)

• Working as part of a site and global project team, co-ordinate multiple projects and ensure timely delivery of project work stages. Supervision of small project teams may also be required.

• Cell Culture process include: Cell Line Development (routine cell culture, FACS); Process Development (ambr15 miniaturized bioreactors, 10L laboratory scale bioreactors); Process Characterization (ambr250 miniaturized bioreactors, 10L laboratory scale bioreactors)

• Degree/PhD or equivalent experience in a field of Science that is relevant.

• Proven experience required, including a PhD or equivalent experience gained in a lab in either industry or academia, or through an industry work training program.
