Seeking a hands-on Scientist
I to support the development of lipid nanoparticle (LNP) formulations for nucleic acid delivery. This role involves LNP synthesis, formulation
optimization, characterization, data analysis, and collaboration with
cross-functional teams to advance non-viral drug delivery platforms.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop,
  optimize, and characterize LNP formulations encapsulating mRNA, siRNA,
  or DNA for in vitro and in vivo studies.
  
• Design
  and execute formulation optimization studies using Design of
  Experiments (DoE).
  
• Perform
  LNP characterization using DLS, Zeta Potential, and Ribogreen assays.
  
• Support
  formulation development activities, including scale-up, stability
  studies, cryoprotection, and downstream processing.
  
• Analyze
  experimental data, maintain accurate laboratory documentation, and present
  findings to project teams.
  
• Collaborate
  with cross-functional teams and support routine laboratory operations.
