BACKGROUND:
Roslin Technologies is an ambitious, cutting‐edge biotech company focused on food and agriculture. Our mission is to advance disruptive biotechnologies to improve how we produce proteins. Alternative proteins are key for a more sustainable food system. We envision a world where we can produce animal proteins without harming our health, the planet, or animals and ensure everyone has access to affordable, nutritious proteins.
Our main focus is on developing animal cell technologies for the emerging cultivated meat sector. We develop stem cell lines using ground-breaking technologies, including Embryonic (EDSCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC). We provide these cell lines to cultivated meat producers globally who will use these cell lines to develop and produce cultivated meat. Our approach is unique to this sector both in terms of technology and business model. Our animal cell lines are playing a key role in bringing the reality of cultivated meat closer.
Our brilliant team of experts are passionate, curious, inventive and at the forefront of the ground-breaking work being accomplished in this rapidly growing, cultivated meat sector.
About The Role
This Upstream Bioprocessing role is an exciting career opportunity for a mammalian / stem cell culture bioprocess scientist with upstream bioprocess development and bioreactor optimisation expertise.
Our Team has derived high-quality animal stem cells, including induced pluripotent stem cells and embryonic stem cells. The next step is to develop and validate scalable upstream bioprocessing protocols (batch, fed-batch, perfusion culture in industry relevant bioreactor types) that show that these cells are innately qualified to grow to high cell densities in large-scale bioreactors. The role will involve you working across our innovation and commercial facing teams advancing the field of animal stem cell cultivation at scale and supporting technology transfer to cultivated meat companies developing alternative meat products using our various cell lines.
We are currently recruiting two bioprocessing positions.
