expanding startup in a fulltime position on site in Thousand Oaks CA. We want a gogetter
who is curious takes initiative and learns quickly. If this is you we want to hear from you.
Key responsibilities:
Develop validate and optimize analytical methods to ensure accurate and reliable results
specific to our proteinbased products.
Conduct assays under defined protocols to measure purity potency and stability using
equipment and instruments supporting biotherapeutics.
Execute ELISA gel electrophoresis and chromatographicbased assays and qualification
activities following protocols on inprocess and final drug substance and drug product samples.
Write SOPs analytical protocols and written reports in compliance to cGMP as needed.
Routine lab activities as needed.
