Master Thesis Student “Optimization of a chromatographic regeneration process”
Are you passionate about biotechnology and eager to make a real impact in the pharmaceutical industry? Do you want to gain hands-on experience while working on a cutting-edge project? If so, we invite you to join us as a Master Thesis Student in our API MSAT Downstream Process department.

Case description
We are looking for a Master Thesis Student to work with us to optimize and develop a chromatographic regeneration process for one of our hemophilia products.
At Novo Nordisk, chromatography is one of the main technologies for producing the active ingredient in our high-quality pharmaceutical products. It is important for the company to have a reliable and robust manufacturing process in order to serve the patients continuously. Appropriate regeneration of the chromatographic columns is therefore important. 
We wish to optimize one of our current regeneration processes and we are seeking a student to help us develop this process and evaluate the optimized process via attrition studies. 
Key challenges
• Understand the current challenges 
• Establish an optimized regeneration process
• Perform attrition studies for evaluation
As a Master Thesis Student, you will:
Be involved in the project: “Optimization of a chromatographic regeneration process”
• Conduct research and experiments to support the project
• Analyse data and present findings to the team
• Collaborate with our Specialists, Scientists and laboratory technicians
 

Qualifications
We are looking for a student who meets the following criteria:
Need to have:
• Currently enrolled in a relevant Master’s degree programme
• Knowledge within protein chemistry and preferably chromatography 
• Practical laboratory skills
• Able to work structured and independently
• Good communication skills in English
 

About the department
Our lab and offices are located in Gentofte, where our department focuses on the downstream part of API processes across Novo Nordisk. We are committed to continually optimizing our existing processes, as well as facilitating the introduction and transfer of new products. Furthermore, we actively investigate novel technologies and their potential to enhance our upstream processes. Join our vibrant and inventive team and play a part in our mission to instigate change in the fight against severe chronic illnesses.
