REQ-01/LondonOpen

Biology — Delivery

FinalDose's platform requires delivery solutions tailored to each therapeutic indication. You will lead delivery engineering across multiple administration routes, optimizing lipid nanoparticle formulations for tissue-specific targeting and therapeutic efficacy. Your work will bridge in vitro formulation development with in vivo validation and ultimately support technology transfer for GMP manufacturing. This is a critical role linking our construct engineering with clinical-stage drug products.

Responsibilities

  • Lead LNP delivery engineering across multiple administration routes, including local, systemic, and inhaled formulations
  • Develop and optimize LNP formulations with full physicochemical characterization (DLS, encapsulation efficiency, zeta potential)
  • Perform in vitro delivery optimization and hand off validated formulations to the in vivo team for animal studies
  • Support CMO/CDMO selection and technology transfer for GMP-grade manufacturing
  • Collaborate with biology teams to evaluate delivery efficiency using functional readouts (editing efficiency, reporter assays) in cell lines and primary cells

Required

  • Ph.D. in pharmaceutical sciences, drug delivery, biomedical engineering, or chemical engineering
  • 3–5+ years of hands-on experience with lipid nanoparticle formulation
  • Demonstrated expertise in at least two of the following: mRNA-LNP encapsulation and delivery, tissue-targeted delivery (SORT technology or ionizable lipid screening), inhaled or pulmonary drug delivery
  • Experience with microfluidic mixing and formulation scale-up
  • In vitro delivery characterization in cell lines and primary cells

Preferred

  • Experience with intravesical or local drug delivery
  • CMC or technology transfer experience with a CDMO
  • Air-liquid interface (ALI) culture and aerosol delivery expertise
  • Awareness of GMP manufacturing processes and requirements
