A career in Boston – main video (youtube.com) At GSK, we have bold ambitions for patients, aiming to positively impact the health of 2.5 billion people by the end of the decade. R&D is committed to discovering and delivering transformational vaccines and medicines to prevent and change the course of disease. We believe the Greater Boston area is an important hub for the biotech and pharma industry, which is why we’ve invested in growing our footprint and expanding our R&D space in Cambridge, with a primary focus on additional state-of-the-art lab space. Here, we will bring together talent and expertise, building upon GSK’s long history of vaccine development, to create globally leading viral capabilities and cutting-edge vaccines technologies, as we add to our robust portfolio targeting infectious diseases at every stage of life. GSK Vaccines is seeking a highly motivated scientist to join the Mammalian Expression Technologies Center of Excellence (MET CoE). Based in Cambridge, MA, this role is focused on the early development of production cell lines and genome engineering techniques to support platform innovation for recombinant protein-based vaccines. This position will play a significant role in shaping GSK’s vaccine pipeline to address unmet medical needs and accelerate global health initiatives. This is an exciting opportunity to integrate with a diverse group of talented industry experts, lead key cell line development activities, and further progress in your career. //Field-based worker - on-site// Main Responsibilities: Hands-on development of commercial CHO cell lines for recombinant protein-based vaccines by harnessing the understanding of cell x molecule x process Key contributor toward the design and implementation of new technologies and genome engineering strategies to support next-generation CHO platform innovation. Work effectively in a team environment to interpret project results and contribute to technical discussions by effectively communicating key updates to collaborators and team members. Maintain accurate and detailed laboratory notebooks and electronic records (e.g., SOPs, batch records, and reports) in compliance with company policies and current cGMP (related to raw material control strategies and cell line derivation) for accelerated CMC submissions. The candidate is also expected to spend time travelling (for 1 to 3 months) to Rockville, MD (Washington DC area) within the first year to support and ensure a smooth transition of the methods and the know-how to the new laboratories in Cambridge.
