Forming part of the Biotechnology segment at Danaher, we bring together dedicated technical expertise and talent to develop the next generation of life-changing therapeutics.

We are looking for a Scientist to join the Viral Vector Applications section in the Genomics Medicine OpCo at R&D in Uppsala. The section is made up by 12 researchers that are working in the areas of protein purification, filtration and analysis of viral vectors, plasmids, and nuclei acids, working with product development to get the right products to the customers. We are now looking for an expert in analytical methods used for AAV (focus ELISA/qPCR).

What you'll do:

As a Scientist you will be an expert in analytical methods that are needed for analysis of titer/viral genomes content for viral vectors via ELISA, qPCR, ddPCR etc.

• Work will be conducted in new product development, product care and market support projects with customer needs in focus.
• You will be conducting analysis work in various projects. This includes being involved in method development and method verification as well as maintaining instrumentation and creating standard operating procedures and work close to QA and production with validations of analytical methods.
• It is important that you in addition to technical expertise can independently plan and perform the tasks in a structured way, report the results at project meetings and in customer discussions. You will also be expected to present posters and orals at conferences occasionally.

Who you are:

• You have a PhD or MSc with a few years’ experience from a diverse set of analytical methods with focus on qPCR and ELISA, preferably toward Viral vectors in the biopharmaceutical field or a PhD in relevant field with some industry experience.
• You have extensive experience in different analysis methods (ELISA, qPCR, BiaCore, Gyros) for both cell culture, filtrated and purified AAV. It’s meritorious if you have worked with other analysis tools/equipment's with viral vectors, for ex DLS, Refeyn, MALS, HPLC.
• Experience of filtration of biomolecules would be advantageous as well as some knowledge in cell culture work.
• You have validation and method development expertise
• Interaction and communication with colleagues will be key in this role and you should enjoy working in a flexible and dynamic environment. Demonstrated abilities to work in a collaborative and customer focused setting.
• Strong presentation and communications skills are important. Advanced English (oral and writing) and working proficiency in Swedish language.
