Scientist

ElevateBio is a technology-driven company powering the industry forward by helping partners realize the potential of their therapies from design to commercialization. We have integrated a differentiated set of technologies, end-to-end services, and industry-leading manufacturing expertise to develop advanced therapies faster and more efficiently.

The Role:

We are seeking a highly skilled LNP Scientist to join our process development team at ElevateBio. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience in LNP formulation, targeted LNP (tLNP) engineering through bioconjugation, and a complete understanding of LNP-based processes. As an LNP Scientist, you will be responsible for designing and executing LNP formulation studies while also working closely with cross-functional teams and external clients for the manufacturing of LNP-based therapeutics. Your work will be critical in advancing the translation of LNP therapeutics from development through large-scale manufacturing at ElevateBio.

Here’s What You’ll Do:

• Execute LNP production to support process characterization, technology transfer, and manufacturing readiness for LNP-based drug products.

• Work closely with cross-functional teams, including MSAT, AD, Quality, Manufacturing, and external clients, to support process development, scale-up and technology transfers.

• Characterize LNP and tLNP formulations using analytical techniques to evaluate size, PDI, encapsulation efficiency, lipid quantification, ligand density, conjugation efficiency, and formulation stability.

• Analyze and interpret experimental data, identify process improvement opportunities, and communicate technical findings, project updates, and recommendations to internal stakeholders and external clients.

Requirements: 

Education Requirements

• Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Sciences, Bioengineering, Biochemistry, Chemical Engineering, Biotechnology, Biomedical Engineering or a related discipline with 3+ years of industry experience in lipid nanoparticle (LNP) development or drug delivery, or M.S degree in a related field with 10+ years of relevant industry experience**. Minimum of 3 years working with LNP-based products in a process development or manufacturing setting.**

Experience Requirements

• Familiarity with GMP regulations, regulatory expectations, and preparation of technical documentation supporting CMC activities, technology transfer, and regulatory filings for LNP-based formulated products.
• Proven record of manufacturing LNP-based products through either process development work or tech transfer activities.
