What are the responsibilities and job description for the Principal Scientist, Downstream Biologics Process R&D position at MSD Malaysia?
Principal Scientist, Downstream Biologics Process R&D
Our Scientists are our Inventors. Using innovative thinking, state-of-the-art facilities, cutting-edge science, and technology, we partner to deliver the next medical breakthrough. We are seeking a collaborative, self-directed learner with a penchant for problem-solving and expertise in downstream bioprocessing to join Biologics Process Research & Development (BPR&D) as a Principal Scientist.
Do not wait to apply after reading this description a high application volume is expected for this opportunity.
BPR&D within our company's Research Laboratories is on a mission to rapidly deliver diverse biotherapeutics to patients by efficiently developing innovative, robust manufacturing processes and technologies. To achieve this, we work closely with colleagues in Discovery, Pre-clinical, Early Development, Analytical, Formulation, and Commercial Manufacturing while providing a diverse and inclusive environment for all. Beyond process development for pipeline biologics, we innovate and build next generation biomanufacturing technologies. Examples include investments for development of continuous manufacturing, green and sustainable processes, and proprietary technology platforms. We actively publish and engage with the scientific community to influence the field.
As a Principal Scientist you will have the opportunity to influence the future direction of our company's Downstream Processing of Biologics. You will work with an immensely creative and collaborative team of scientists and engineers to design purification processes while developing technical strategies related to downstream processing for drug candidates in early- and late-stage development.
Responsibilities include but are not limited to :
- As an impactful contributor, shape and realize innovation across the Biologics’ pipeline, strategy, and science.
- Advance the pipeline by collaborating with cross-functional teams, from Research & Manufacturing, in a fast-paced, multidisciplinary environment.
- Participate in or lead 1) development of robust and scalable purification processes for biologics in different stages of clinical development, 2) process characterization and regulatory filings for successful commercialization.
- Advance downstream processes by improving efficiency and cost effectiveness through research and innovation, while assessing technologies and industry best practices.
- Collaborate with academia, industry, and vendors to drive development and early adoption of novel process technologies.
