Our Team:

We, Sanofi, are an innovative global healthcare company, driven by one purpose: we chase the miracles of science to improve people’s lives. With unique, novel, and innovative biomolecules (e.g. Nanobody® molecules, SYNTHORIN™) come new challenges for large-scale process development in microbial systems. Our team develops the future downstream processes for these new therapeutics. If you want to help shape the new generation of processes with us then you've come to the right place, just apply.

Main responsibilities:

• Lab Scientist of a downstream laboratory for purification of molecules derived from microbial fermentation processes – like Nanobody® molecules.
• position reports to Lab Head DSP.
• Must work independently in the lab to develop purification and ultrafiltration technologies (chromatography; TFF) that enables biologics to reach the quantity and quality standards to meet clinical demands and commercial manufacturing
• Independently carry out analytical methods (i.e., HPLC methods) to determine the quality of the chromatographic fractions
• Drive the implementation of new techniques in the field of chromatography and ultrafiltration, modelling and continuous manufacturing in the microbial platform
• Support maintenance and acquisition of new equipment
• Dutifully document and provide scientific input on experimental results in a timely manner
• Liaise with a multidisciplinary team for analytical sample transfers and trouble- shooting of methods and issues intrinsic to downstream processes
• Support tech transfer activities
• Readiness to support other Microbial Platform areas if needed (Clinical Trial Manufacturing; non-GMP Pilot Plant), for instance as a person-in-plant to facilitate scale-up of downstream processes
• Support Sanofi digital transformation and eco-footprint reduction goals
• Maintaining Sanofi HSE standard and ensuring laboratory compliance
• On occasion, present results in conferences or internal seminars
