Development Scientist in Purification Development & Virology

jobbeskrivelse:
- Research & Development - Denmark - Gentofte The department of Biopharm Purification Development & Virology seeks a scientist with experience in protein purification and knowledge within virus safety. About the department Biopharm Purification Development & Virology is part of Chemistry, Manufacturing and Control (CMC) Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) Development (R&D). The department is responsible for developing, documenting and transferring scalable purification processes and virus safety for APIs in order to bring the growing pipeline of new therapeutic proteins into clinical trials. Moreover, the department ensures high quality adventitious agent analysis with respect to virus and mycoplasma for product release of biopharmaceuticals. We emphasize a scientific approach in our work that is performed in multidisciplinary project groups in close collaboration with analytical, development, production, and quality departments as well as international contract organisations. Thus, a wide interdisciplinary understanding of the development process for biopharmaceuticals is needed to support decision making and progress within this area. The working climate is informal with a high degree of flexibility. The position We offer a position in which you will be able to develop your knowledge of virus safety with respect to drug development with all its interdependencies and regulatory challenges. You will contribute to interdisciplinary projects and have the opportunity to develop your scientific and project management skills. You will be part of a team that ensures virus and mycoplasma safety of biopharmaceuticals in both marketed products and the biopharm development portfolio. This includes being a Glucagon Like Peptid(GLP) study director on virus clearance evaluation studies to assess the capability of the overall purification process to remove and/or inactivate viruses. In this, you will contribute to the daily coordination of our virus clearance lab and ensure that we deliver high quality results in accordance with our timelines. In addition, you will be involved in cell bank testing, raw material evaluations and other aspects of adventitious agent safety evaluation of biopharmaceuticals. Furthermore, you will participate in development projects managed in the department. This will include design and development of purification processes with a virus clearance perspective in collaboration with purification scientists. Qualifications You hold a minimum of M.Sc. degree in Chemical Engineering, Biochemistry, Biology, or other relevant discipline. You have experience with protein purification at laboratory, pilot or production scale, and an understanding of assays for the detection of viruses. Experience with virus safety evaluation of biopharmaceuticals is an advantage, as well as knowledge within relevant regulatory guidelines, such as ICHQ5A. The ideal candidate has experience within the regulatory framework of virus, mycoplasma and TSE. In addition, expertise within molecular detection techniques e.g. qPCR and RT-qPCR is an asset. As a person, you are enthusiastic, open-minded and a good communicator by nature both orally and in writing. You are full of initiative with a can-do attitude and are able to work independently as well as in teams. A good sense of humour and ability to keep spirits high in a busy environment is highly valued. Working at Novo Nordisk At Novo Nordisk, your skills, dedication and ambition help us change lives for the better. In exchange, we offer you an opportunity to work with extraordinary talent and benefit from a range of possibilities for professional and personal development.
