Title: Scientist I
Location: Waltham, MA
Duration: 12 Months+ Possible Extension
Pay Range: $50-$53/hr

Manager Notes:
  • The scientist will support protein and LC-MSbased analyses, with a strong focus on mass spectrometry, chromatography, and biological sample preparation.
  • Daily work includes end-to-end digest workflow execution, optimization experiments, operating nano-LC and mass spectrometry platforms, monitoring instrument, running impurity and enzyme kinetic assays
  • Utilizing a mix of manual and automated liquid handling systems.
  • The role also requires data analysis, experiment design based on team feedback, and clear communication of results through summaries and PowerPoint presentations.
  • Ideal candidates hold a Masters degree in Analytical Chemistry, Biochemistry, or a related field with 24 years of relevant biotech or pharma experience (or a PhD with 13 years), particularly with LC-MS impurity monitoring or proteomics/HCP profiling, and have experience with software such as Client, Skyline, or similar pepProduct mapping tools.
Description:
  • Client is seeking a highly motivated Scientist to join theBioAnalytics Characterization group within the Genomic Medicine Unit BioAnalytics.
  • The Genomic Medicine Unit at Client is dedicated to the establishment of best-in-class platforms to support development of life-changing advanced gene therapy products, including recombinant AAV vectors and lipid nanoparticles.
  • The BioAnalytics Characterization group uses advanced analytical techniques for in-depth structural and functional characterization of gene therapy products in support of drug development, from pre-candidate selection through commercialization.
  • This role is predominantly wet-lab involving sample processing and complex instrumentation operation for LC-MS analysis. As Client BioA supports CMC, a successful candidate should have familiarity working within a regulated environment, documenting analyses in ELN and an understanding of drug development life cycle.

Key Responsibilities
  • Perform characterization testing of gene therapy samples to determine and quantify host cell proteins using solid-phase enhanced sample preparation and LC-MS analytical techniques commonly used in proteomics (i.e. proteomic profiling using DDA or DIA, targeted quantitation using MRM or PRM).
  • Assist in analytical method development and execute method qualification experiments to establish accuracy, precision, linearity and sensitivity of quantitative method.
  • Assist in developing automated liquid handler platforms to increase sample throughput.
  • Document all method development and testing activities/results accurately in compliance with internal and regulatory standards.
Basic Qualifications
  • Masters degree in Analytical Chemistry, Biochemistry, or a related discipline with 2-4 years of relevant biotechnology or pharmaceutical industry experience, preferably performing impurity monitoring using LC-MS or proteome/HCP profiling or Doctorate degree with 1-3 years of relevant experience in proteomics.
  • Effective planning, communication and collaboration skills.
  • Strong theoretical understanding of macromolecules (e.g., DNA, RNA, proteins) and their chemical properties.
Preferred Qualifications
  • LC-MS systems: ThermoOrbitrap Exploris/Eclipse/Fusion Lumos/Astral; Sciex LCMS Triple Quad 6500.
  • Software: Skyline, Proteome Discoverer, Byos, Spectronaut.
  • Practical, hands-on troubleshooting and programming experience with automation equipment, such as Agilent Bravo LT, Hamilton, Andrew+ or KingFisher.
  • Gene therapy experience with AAV or LNP is preferred
