Project Overview

Advances in modern drug manufacturing have been largely centered on the discovery and synthesis of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). Fabricating this API into the final drug, on the other hand, require extensive batch procesess that are energy intensive, inflexible and wasteful, all of which call for a need to develop a novel process that can address these issues. Hence, a more profound understanding of a microfluidic manufacturing technique can be explored to design a continuous process that can produce engineered particles with a degree of controllability and flexibility.  

Job Description

Successful candidates will be working closely with CAMP researchers and industry collaborators to develop a high-throuhgput process to manufacture engineered particles.

Principal duties are

• Generate various pharmecuitcal particles using microfluidics devices.

• Perform appropriate analysises to characterize the engineered particles.

• Perform tablet testing experiments.

• Understand a process scale-up in order to translate the technology into an industrial domain.

• Prepare reports for industrial sponors.

Job Requirements

• Bachelor degree or higher in bioengineering, chemical engineering or related fields.
• Experience in mechanical testing of materials.
• Experience in droplet microfluidics, upstream and downstream processing of pharmaceutical products.
• Ability to work as a team and collaborate with industrial and academic collaborators.
• Excellent in communication, both written and oral in English. 

Interested applicants are invited to send in their full CV/resume, cover letter and list of three references (to include reference names and contact information). We regret that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
