For our ambitious, fast-growing team in Copenhagen, we are looking for a Senior Scientist specializing in Late-Stage Upstream Process Development. Working in the Late Stage Process Development team, you will take a leading role in characterizing and optimizing mammalian upstream processes for biologic drug candidates in late-stage development. This role includes driving the transition of processes from early- to late-stage development, providing scientific support in troubleshooting and process improvements, and ensuring regulatory compliance through cross-functional collaboration.

Our Late Stage Process Development Department plays a crucial role in transitioning processes from clinical scale to commercial manufacturing. The department is composed of three teams focused on process robustness, scalability, characterization, and ensuring regulatory compliance for biologics in advanced development stages.

About the role
We are currently looking for a senior scientist with an upstream background to join one of the teams and work closely with other process development scientists and technicians. Join us as we continue to push the boundaries of science and engineering to bring life-saving therapies to market.

Your primary tasks will be…

  • Leading characterization studies for mammalian upstream processes for late-stage biologic drug candidates.
  • Driving the transfer of processes from early- to late-stage development.
  • Providing scientific support in troubleshooting and improving upstream processes.
  • Collaborating cross-functionally with MSAT and quality teams to ensure seamless integration and transfer of processes.
  • Authoring and reviewing technical documents, including characterization protocols, reports, and regulatory submissions.
  • Acting as a subject matter expert (SME) in client discussions related to upstream processes.

Your qualifications…

  • Ideally, a PhD in Cell Biology, Biochemistry, or Biochemical Engineering.
  • Expertise in mammalian cell culture, bioreactor operation, and process scale-up from AMBR250 to bench scale.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills, scientific creativity, and attention to detail.
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to work collaboratively in a team-oriented environment.
  • Fluency in written and verbal English.

It is advantageous if you have…

  • Experience presenting scientific results and participating in regulatory meetings or inspections.
  • A proven track record in late-stage upstream process development and technology transfer to clinical and/or commercial manufacturing.
  • Experience in statistical design of experiments (DoE), process modeling, and data analysis.

Are you up for the challenge?

  • To apply, please submit your CV. We encourage you to apply even if you do not meet every requirement.
