Senior Bioprocess Development Scientist - Protein Production
The Microbiome Therapies Initiative (MITI) at Sarafan ChEM-H is seeking a highly motivated protein scientist for a role in our ambitious new effort to develop and produce commensal vaccines in-house at Stanford for clinical use. At MITI, we aim to take advantage of the tremendous promise of the microbiome to treat human disease. In this position, you will be MITI’s primary expert on protein expression and purification, reporting to the Associate Director/GMP Supervisor. You will lead the development, execution, and troubleshooting of an array of protein production strategies needed to support the success of the commensal vaccine platform. You will adapt these strategies for the GMP production of MITI’s clinical products, participating in the redesign of our GMP suite for vaccine production and in the in-house manufacturing, formulation, and release process itself. Your colleagues will be MITI’s GMP manufacturing, quality, and regulatory team members. You will collaborate with members of the Fischbach lab at Stanford who have created this novel vaccination strategy. Ideal candidates are self-starters, comfortable with autonomy, yet embrace opportunities to tackle new problems and challenges as part of a dynamic team in a start-up-like environment within the University.
