SUMMARY

Cell therapy manufacturing specialist to contribute to internal-manufacturing cGMP projects. This is a kinetic, high-impact role that entails contributing and building advanced technical skills, which are cutting edge even by immunotherapy's current industry standards. Requires both independence and team skills to collaborate effectively within a cross-functional, high-performance team. Excellent opportunity for a self driven biologist or bioprocess engineer eager to contribute technical and problem-solving scientific skills within a fast-paced, continually evolving busy cell therapy startup.
