Scientist, Upstream Development
SEARCH PROFILE
ExpreS2ion Biotechnologies ApS was founded in 2009 in order to commercialize a protein expression
platform based on virus free expression in Drosophila S2 insect cells. Over the last three years
ExpreS2ion has established a strong position in the field of protein production for vaccines and R&D
needs, and our expertise is recognised amongst the top vaccine developers in academia and industry.
The Company is now looking to expand its team with an upstream development scientist.
The position entails hands-on development of consistent and robust upstream processes using
Drosophila S2 insect cells in various types of bioreactors using batch, fed-batch and perfusion modes.
The process development will be captured in standard operating procedures (SOPs) and the scientist
will form part of the team transferring the processes to a contract manufacturer for GMP production.
Furthermore, routine protein production for client projects in scales ranging from 500ml to 15L will
be performed on an on-going basis.
