Cytokinetics is a late-stage, specialty cardiovascular biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing and commercializing first-in-class muscle activators and next-in-class muscle inhibitors as potential treatments for debilitating diseases in which cardiac muscle performance is compromised. As a leader in muscle biology and the mechanics of muscle performance, the company is developing small molecule drug candidates specifically engineered to impact myocardial muscle function and contractility.
Cytokinetics is seeking an outstanding individual and scientist to join our formulation group, including responsibilities for development and manufacturing drug products for different stages of clinical studies. You will be part of the research team during pre-clinical formulation development and pre-formulation study. You will provide critical support for the following activities: designing and developing of First-in-Human clinical formulations; tech transferring the prototype formulations to CRO/CMO; scaling-up and cGMP manufacturing of clinical trial materials; as well as trouble-shooting and process optimization of drug product as projects progress to next stage.
The Scientist I will utilize the internal formulation laboratory capabilities to develop prototype formulations for both preclinical and clinical studies. Furthermore, the candidate will support formulation activities at various stages at CMO/CRO: First-in-Human simple clinical formulation, late-stage clinical formulation with robust manufacturing process, “proposed commercial” formulation for Registration / Primary Stability batches, and final formulation for process validation.
Our employees come from different backgrounds, and we celebrate those differences. We are looking for the best candidates for our open roles, but do not expect applicants to meet every qualification in order to be considered. If you are excited about what you could accomplish at Cytokinetics and believe you can add value to our team, we would love to hear from you.
