About This Role
This role involves executing end-to-end cell line development activities to support pipeline programs, focusing on mammalian cell culture techniques. The position is for a scientist with substantial industry experience in mammalian cell line development, working both independently and collaboratively within a fast-paced team.
Responsibilities
- Execute end-to-end Cell Line Development (CLD) activities, including mammalian cell culture, transfection, single-cell cloning, clone screening, cell banking, fed-batch production, and routine cell line maintenance
- Independently perform laboratory experiments, analyze data, troubleshoot technical challenges, and document results in a timely and organized manner
- Support and apply automation and high-throughput technologies to enhance CHO cell line generation, clone selection, and workflow efficiency
- Collaborate closely with Cell Line Development team members and cross-functional partners, including Cell Culture, Analytical Development, and Pilot Plant teams, to achieve project objectives and timelines
- Contribute to technical reports, presentations, and project discussions, effectively communicating experimental outcomes and recommendations
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree with 6+ years or Master's degree with 4+ years in Biotechnology, Biochemical Engineering, Biological Sciences, or a related field, with substantial industry experience in mammalian Cell Line Development
- Strong hands-on experience in CHO cell line development, including cell culture, transfection, single-cell cloning, clone screening, cell banking, cell counting, and shake-flask operations
- Demonstrated experience supporting cell line development programs in a biopharmaceutical or biotechnology environment; prior experience performing duties comparable to a Scientist-level role is strongly preferred
- Strong understanding of cell line development workflows, experimental design, data analysis, and troubleshooting
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including technical report writing and presentation of scientific data
- Proven ability to work independently while effectively collaborating in a fast-paced, cross-functional team environment
- Highly organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple priorities while meeting project timelines
Nice to have:
- Experience with bench-scale bioreactors, automated liquid handling systems, and/or high-throughput screening technologies
