Title: Research Associate I

Location: 65 Hayden, Lexington, MA (100% onsite)

Duration: 6+ months

Shift: Monday-Friday: 8AM-4PM

MUST HAVES:

• Hands-on experience in formulating lipid nanoparticles at small to mid-scale using microfluidics
• Hands-on experience in characterizing lipid nanoparticles loaded with nucleic acids (e.g. Ribogreen, DLS)
• Hands-on experience in lyophilization of lipid nanoparticles.
• Bachelor’s degree strongly preferred with 2 years’ minimum relevant experience required OR high school diploma with 8+ years’ relevant experience OR Associate or Vocational degree, 4+ years’ relevant experience may also be considered

Duties:

• Regularly formulate and characterize lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) loaded with nucleic acids at small to mid-scale using microfluidics, ensuring reproducibility and scalability of the process while maintaining high product quality and consistency
• Conduct freeze-drying studies to evaluate the stability of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) formulations, including assessing critical formulation parameters and optimizing freeze-drying cycles for maximum stability and efficacy of the final product
