Key Responsibilities:

  • Design and develop parenteral formulations for biologics, including solid and liquid dosage forms.

  • Execute pre-formulation studies leveraging rational design principles: structure-function assessment, buffer/excipient/stabilizer screening.

  • Conduct drug substance and drug product stability studies, analyze trends, assess degradation kinetics, and assign shelf-life.

  • Plan and perform formulation and process characterization studies to optimize product performance.

  • Operate and maintain laboratory instruments, including Density Meters, Osmometers, Viscometers, Turbidity Meters, UV Spectrophotometers, and HPLC systems.

  • Author and review technical documentation, including study reports, product development reports (PDR), and tech transfer documents.

  • Apply basic statistical analysis, Design of Experiments (DoE), and data visualization to interpret formulation data.

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to support regulatory submissions, tech transfers, and process optimization.

  • Demonstrate scientific problem-solving, analytical thinking, and adherence to quality and safety standards.

Required Qualifications & Experience:

  • M.Pharm or M.Sc. in Life Sciences, Biotechnology, Bioprocess Engineering, Pharmaceuticals, Biopharmaceuticals, Biopharmaceutical Technology, Biochemistry, or related fields.

  • 6–9 years of hands-on experience in biopharmaceutical formulation development, particularly with mAbs, proteins, and peptides.

  • Strong expertise in parenteral formulation development, stability studies, and process characterization.

  • Experience in handling analytical instrumentation and preparing regulatory-compliant documentation.

Key Skills & Competencies:

  • Strong analytical and scientific reasoning for complex formulation challenges.
