Principal Scientist Antibody Drug Conjugate and Purification Development at LOTTE Biologics

We are LOTTE BIOLOGICS 

 

A new company, built on 80 years of tradition 

 

We embody our core values of being Inspired by Science, Embracing Diversity, Fostering Talent, and Connecting Lives 

Our mission is to be the most trusted partner in the industry, with high standards of quality and continuous innovation, to reliably deliver benefits for patients worldwide 

 

We deliver therapies that make a Healthier World 

 

To help us meet our mission LOTTE BIOLOGICS is in need of a new Principal Scientist Antibody Drug Conjugateand Purification Development to lead the process development and production of ADCs as part of a multi-disciplinary team to advance ADC development and provide on-floor GMP support of manufacturing. The ADC Principal Scientist will also support development of the facility and laboratory design, build out, start-up, and technical process transfer of the ADC process from laboratory to manufacturing for ADCs and other large molecule bioconjugates for various therapeutic areas.  In this critical role you will;

 

• drive the CMC elements related to bioconjugation throughout the product life cycle using technical expertise in conjugation chemistry and downstream unit operations including tangential flow filtration, dead-end filtration, and protein chromatography
• lead the design and execution of laboratory experiments in the development, optimization, and characterization of ADCs
• leverage direct experience designing and implementing experiments to evaluate purification and bioconjugation processes for ADCs in order to lead development, execution, and technology transfer of purification and bioconjugation processes
• Develop, optimize, plan, and lead characterization of purification processes for antibodies and novel bioconjugation methodologies to improve Antibody Drug Conjugates including High Throughput Screening methods for Purification Development
• bring biologics from Phase I through commercial, including experience in late-stage activities such as CMC risk assessments, process characterization, and process validation, and provide technical experience for on-floor support for production of GMP antibody and ADC batches

 

It’s important to note that during facility build and start-up phases, the ADC Principal Scientist will serve as an individual contributor but will transition to lead a team of scientists and engineers.
