In your role, Senior Scientist, you will provide scientific leadership in formulation development, applying expertise in pharmaceutics, drug delivery and biopharmaceutics to solve complex development challenges. The role will involve developing enabling formulations for poorly soluble and challenging molecules, designing studies to understand formulation performance, and supporting progression of candidates towards first-in-human development.
