Key Responsibilities:
-
Conduct literature research on synthetic routes for internal candidate compounds; compile research plans and develop route exploration strategies.
-
Develop robust manufacturing processes for APIs, ensuring process robustness; investigate potential impurities and polymorph control to ensure product quality meets ICH and relevant domestic/international regulatory requirements.
-
Prepare samples from gram to hundred‑gram scale to ensure timely material supply for early non‑clinical studies.
-
Comply with laboratory daily management regulations and maintain timely and accurate experimental records.
-
Execute technology transfer of API processes; guide CDMOs in pilot‑scale production, as well as toxicology batch and GMP batch manufacturing.
-
Oversee the entire process development and production lifecycle in accordance with regulatory requirements for new drugs, ensuring that API process development and manufacturing are fully compliant with clinical study requirements.
-
Collaborate closely with key raw material suppliers to ensure uninterrupted material availability.
-
Systematically organize process development and production data; draft R&D reports and patent documents as required.
-
Compile and review regulatory submission dossiers.
Qualifications:
-
Master’s degree or above in Organic Chemistry, Medicinal Chemistry, or a closely related field.
-
At least 6 years of experience for Master’s candidates, or at least 2 years for PhD candidates, in API process development and production; experience with or collaboration with CRO/CMO organizations is preferred.
-
Solid knowledge of organic chemistry and strong process development capabilities, with proven ability to solve diverse problems arising during process development.
-
Basic knowledge of GMP and familiarity with domestic and international new drug registration regulations and requirements.
