Research Associate - R&D

The Research Associate - Purification will be responsible for the development, optimization, and scale-up of purification processes for peptide and protein molecules. The role involves hands-on experience with chromatographic techniques, analytical tools, and process development for purification at lab and pilot scale.

Roles and Responsibilities:

• Develop and optimize purification strategies for peptides and proteins using chromatographic techniques such as Reverse Phase (RP-HPLC), Ion Exchange (IEX), and Size Exclusion (SEC).
• Perform preparative chromatography for peptide purification, including method development and troubleshooting.
• Execute lab-scale purification experiments, analyze results, and propose process improvements.
• Conduct method transfer, scale-up, and technology transfer activities to manufacturing teams.
• Characterize purified peptides using analytical techniques such as HPLC, LC-MS, UV-Vis Spectroscopy, and SDS-PAGE.
• Maintain accurate records, documentation, and prepare technical reports.
• Work closely with the process development and analytical teams to ensure smooth execution of purification strategies.
• Support regulatory documentation and compliance as per cGMP and ICH guidelines.

• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills.
• Ability to work independently and in a team environment.
• Good documentation and report-writing skills.
• Strong communication and collaboration abilities.
