Senior R&D Scientist – Novel Biologics Delivery
About the role
The Senior R&D Scientist, Novel Biologics Delivery will join our Research & Development team in Bend, Oregon to lead the conceptualization, development, and experimental validation of innovative drug delivery platforms for proteins, peptides, and nucleic acids. This role bridges early-stage discovery and clinical translation.
Responsibilities
- Translate analytical, developability, and mechanistic insights into innovative formulation and drug delivery platforms for injectable biologics, including mAbs, ADCs, and emerging modalities.
- Apply translational science to design and assess novel drug delivery strategies.
- Apply protein stability, aggregation, and interfacial behavior principles to guide formulation design for complex biologics.
- Design, execute, and interpret advanced characterization and stability studies to guide development decisions.
- Incorporate injectability, local tissue interactions, biological fate, and translational performance into formulation design for injectable biologics.
- Develop and apply in vitro and ex vivo performance models to evaluate novel injectable formulation and delivery concepts.
- Partner with cross-functional R&D teams to integrate analytical, formulation, process, and delivery perspectives into differentiated biologic drug product strategies.
Requirements
- Ph.D. in pharmaceutical sciences, biochemistry, biophysics, chemical engineering, bioengineering, or a related discipline, 3–5 years of relevant industry experience.
- Strong understanding of biologic developability, including protein stability, aggregation, degradation, interfacial behavior, and formulation–biologic interactions, DMPK and basic pharmacology.
- Hands-on experience designing and interpreting formulation screening, stress, and stability studies for biologic drug products.
- Expertise applying analytical characterization methods to connect molecular attributes with formulation performance and development decisions.
- Working knowledge of injectable drug product development and sterile processing fundamentals.
- Demonstrated ability to work effectively in cross-functional R&D teams.
