HRS Hyper Recruitment Solutions: Purification Development Scientist

Due to an increase in customer projects, our client has an exciting opportunity for a Scientist to join their Purification Development team. Our client is a leading contract manufacturer based in the Berkshire area.

ROLE OVERVIEW:

The role of the Purification Development Scientist will involve designing and performing laboratory experiments to test the suitability and effectiveness of various chromatographic, filtration and other protein purification procedures.

KEY DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

The specific duties of the Purification Development Scientist will include:

1. Performing virus validation studies to demonstrate the effectiveness of purification processes for the reduction of viruses.

2. Interpretation of data from development studies or validation studies obtained and to plan the next set of experiments where required.

3. Analysis of protein samples by a variety of analytical techniques.

4. Performing validation studies to demonstrate the effectiveness of purification processes.

5. Regularly communicate results by means of verbal presentations and written reports to both internal groups and to customers.

6. Preparation of study protocols and reports (cGMP) to document purification validation activities for regulatory submissions as appropriate

7. To perform purification development and validation studies for antibodies and other recombinant proteins being manufactured.

ROLE REQUIREMENTS:

In order to be considered for the role of Purification Development Scientist, we are looking for candidates to demonstrate the following:

1. A First Class qualification in Biochemistry (or other relevant discipline e.g. Applied Biology or Biotechnology). For recent graduates, a project, industrial placement or a summer job related to protein purification would be a strong advantage. Strong practical laboratory skills and an enthusiasm for science are essential.

2. Ideally some experience of or knowledge of virus reduction studies.

3. A working knowledge of the theory of protein purification and protein structure is required.

Key Words: purification development, scientist, protein purification, biochemistry, biotechnology, viruses, proteins, antibodies, chromatography, filtration

Hyper Recruitment Solutions Ltd (HRS) is an Equal Opportunities employer that is happy to welcome applications for any applicant who fulfil the role requirements for this position. HRS is a company exclusively supporting the science and technology sectors and is made up of a collaboration of scientists supporting science. We look forward to helping you with your next career moves.

Protein folding via charge zippers

Jan. 18, 2013 — Membrane proteins are the "molecular machines" in biological cell envelopes. They control diverse processes, such as the transport of molecules across the lipid membrane, signal transduction, and photosynthesis. Their shape, i.e. folding of the molecules, plays a decisive role in the formation of, e.g., pores in the cell membrane. In the journal Cell, researchers of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and the University of Cagliari are now reporting a novel charge zipper principle used by proteins to form functional units. "It is fascinating to see the elegant basic principles that are used by nature to construct molecular assemblies," explains Anne Ulrich, Director of the KIT Institute for Biological Interfaces. "A charge zipper between the charged side chains is an entirely unexpected mechanism used by membrane proteins to neutralize their charges such that they can be immersed into hydrophobic cell membranes....

Salmonella spreads by targeting cells in our gut, study shows

Dec. 11, 2012 — Scientists have gained fresh insights into how the salmonella bug makes us ill. University of Edinburgh researchers have found that the bacteria are able to change key cells that line the intestine, enabling the bugs to thrive. By changing the make-up of these cells, the salmonella bacteria are able to cross the gut wall. Food poisoning Salmonella food poisoning -- commonly caused by eating undercooked poultry or eggs -- can lead to diarrhea, fever and even death in young children. Scientists say the study furthers our understanding of how bacterial infections occur and what enables them to spread. Cellular make-up The University of Edinburgh research found that the salmonella released a protein -- SopB -- changing the make-up of certain cells that line the gut. This causes a dramatic increase in cells -- called microfold or M cells. The work, reveals how once the salmonella produces large number of these cells it can then ge...
