Biomedical research is at the forefront of science with the advent of commercial gene therapies and consumer products for molecular medicine. Central to the latest advances is a multi-disciplinary approach whereby biochemistry meets experimental physics and is coupled with engineering and data science. Our client is quietly building a world-class team to commercialise current scientific initiatives and translating these into practical, applied solutions. They are currently looking to expand this team and are looking for a bright, highly capable scientific technologist to take a leading role on their projects - providing technical understanding as well as a good appreciation of commercialisation. Qualifications and experience: • Top academic pedigree (1st / 2.1 bachelor's degree) including a PhD in biochemistry or bioengineering. • Research background with subsequent applied experience in life science tools / applications development.
