Main Duties & Responsibilities:
- Support CAR-T cell product development and optimization in early-stage development. The candidate should be able to design, develop and execute experiments in the areas of formulation, fill/finish, and cryopreservation processes.
- Execute laboratory experiments following protocols and troubleshooting routine technical issues.
- Operate relevant cell-processing, fill/finish, controlled-rate freezing, cryogenic storage, and thawing equipment.
- Perform assays to assess CAR-T product quality and cellular health, including cell count, viability, recovery, apoptosis, flow-cytometric phenotype, and functional readouts.
- Collect, organize, analyze, and interpret experimental data and communicate conclusions.
- Maintain accurate and timely documentation in laboratory notebooks and electronic systems, author or contribute to protocols, technical reports, and presentations.
- Collaborate with analytical development, process development, and external partners to support robust and scalable CAR-T drug product processes.
- Follow established safety, biosafety, aseptic, and data-integrity practices and contribute to a safe, organized, and inspection-ready laboratory environment.
The successful candidate will demonstrate strong organizational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to balance hands-on laboratory work, data analysis, documentation, and effective communication in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment.
Education & Experience Requirements:
