Hispanic Alliance for Career Enhancement
Senior Scientist, Biologics Process Research & Development
Hispanic Alliance for Career Enhancement, Rahway, New Jersey, us, 07065
Overview
Our Research Scientists are our Inventors. Using innovative thinking, state-of-the-art facilities, and robust scientific methodology, we partner to deliver the next medical breakthrough. Biologics Process Research & Development (BPR&D) within our Company Research Laboratories are on a mission to rapidly deliver diverse biotherapeutics to patients by efficiently developing innovative, robust manufacturing processes and technologies. We work closely with 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, including investments in continuous manufacturing, green and sustainable processes, and proprietary technology platforms. We actively publish and engage with the scientific community to influence the field. This posting covers opportunities for the Biologics Process Development (BPD) group and is open to highly motivated individuals with a passion for innovation and interest in contributing to upstream and/or downstream bioprocessing.
