mRNA Analytical Development Scientist

Work Schedule Standard (Mon-Fri) Environmental Conditions Laboratory Setting, Office Job Description About the role Help develop the analytical methods behind next-generation mRNA products. In this hands-on laboratory role, you’ll use your HPLC expertise to generate high-quality data, solve analytical challenges and support method transfer to QC and GMP laboratories. You’ll join a fast-paced team of scientists with a strong scientific background, working hands-on to develop and characterize mRNA products. What you’ll do Perform laboratory analyses to support mRNA product development and characterization. Use HPLC to generate reliable data and investigate analytical challenges. Contribute to method transfer to QC and GMP laboratories. Analyze and communicate results to project teams. Prepare clear, accurate and traceable technical documentation. Collaborate with colleagues across analytical development, process development, QC and manufacturing. What you’ll bring A PhD in analytical chemistry, biochemistry, biotechnology, pharmaceutical sciences or a related discipline, or relevant hands-on experience in an analytical laboratory, including a QC environment. Practical HPLC experience with macromolecules is required. You should be confident operating the instrument independently, preparing samples, and following and applying written protocols. Experience with capillary gel electrophoresis (CGE) and/or liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS) is an advantage. Experience in analytical method development is desirable. Fluency in Italian and English, with strong written and verbal communication skills in both languages. Strong attention to detail, sound documentation habits and the ability to work independently and collaboratively. Nice to have Experience supporting mRNA, nucleic acid or other biomacromolecule development. Familiarity with GLP or GMP environments. Experience with additional analytical techniques such as DLS, ELISA and fluorometric method for nucleic acids quantification. Experience preparing technical protocols, reports, SOPs or work instructions. Interested in applying your analytical skills to mRNA development? We’d be glad to hear from you.
