Responsibilities:

• Monitors or follows established protocols and performs routine productions to obtain reproducible and reliable results with limited supervision.
• Plans, monitors or conducts, analyzes and records experiments, and provides interpretation of data.
• Engages coworkers in scientific discussions. Communicates data and interpretation to work group.
• Skilled and/or knowledgeable in the use of standard laboratory tissue culture and automation equipment.
• Effectively trouble-shoots mammalian expression experimental difficulties.
• Contributes to internal/external reports, presentations.
• Coordinates and organizes resources needed to complete the full protein production process.
• Understands when to seek input and when to make independent judgments.
• Production of mAb like molecules in a stable CHO expression system.
• Production number and scale varies from very few molecules at a 2,500 mL scale in shake flasks to many hundreds of molecules at a 4 mL scale.
• Use of automation to transfect and passage large numbers of productions.
• Use of Benchling database system for electronic management of productions and generating ELN documentation.
• Use of aseptic technique.
• Measuring of harvest titers.
• Coordination with upstream cloners and downstream chemists for adherence to tight timelines.
