Responsibilities

n

Responsible for design and development of new biologics drug formulations. Also responsible for formulation optimization with a view to establish the quality and stability of drug products. Works on complex problems in which analysis of situations or data requires an in-depth evaluation of various factors. Exercises judgment within broadly defined practices and policies in selecting methods, techniques and evaluation criteria for obtaining optimal results. Designs, executes, and interprets formulation studies based on defined deliverables, planning activities to meet project timelines by working closely with project managers and senior technical team members of the biologics function. Understands the basic elements of rational formulation design and factors that affect the stability of proteins. Implements formulation development based on sound physicochemical information derived from pre-formulation studies. Capable of experimental design and data interpretation techniques such as Design of Experiments (DoE) and statistical data evaluation techniques. Present and discuss the data and project progress at those meetings. Maintains and ensures safe laboratory environment and work practices. Writes formulation development plans and formulation development reports. Performs day-to-day planning, execution and analysis of laboratory experiments independently with minimal supervisions. Defines complex problems, develops approaches and develops experiments with sound judgment. Writes and/or approves complex reports and protocols. Maintains knowledge of regulatory compliance requirements and best practices for pharmaceutical development.
