Biomedical Engineer jobs in Central Singapore

Project Overview

SMART CAMP (Critical Analytics for Manufacturing Personalized-Medicine) is an interdisciplinary research programme in Singapore (CREATE international research campus and innovation hub) and at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). SMART CAMP addresses key technology bottlenecks in cell therapy manufacturing: (i) critical quality attributes (CQA) of safe, effective cell therapy products; and (ii) integrated process analytics to monitor and modulate those attributes. Our efforts are focused on allogeneic and autologous cell therapy products, including but not limited to cell sources including adult stem/progenitor cells and immune cells for treatment of specific cancers, tissue degeneration, and autoimmune diseases.

This interdisciplinary team comprises engineers, biologists, clinicians, manufacturing, and data analytics experts from multiple MIT academic units, and multiple Singapore-based universities, research centres of excellence, and hospitals who are experienced at translational demonstrations of technologies in safety-regulated industries such as cell therapies.

SMART, MIT’s first such research unit outside of Cambridge, MA, serves as an intellectual hub, allowing faculty, researchers and graduate students from MIT to collaborate with their academic and industrial counterparts from Singapore and the region in exciting new areas of science and technology.

Responsibilities

• Perform laboratory experiments involving biological sample processing and a range of biochemical and cell-based assays, including ELISA, flow cytometry (FACS), and CAMP-developed analytical techniques.
• Collaborate with cross-functional CAMP team members and the broader Singapore academic and cell manufacturing community, including engineers, clinicians, GMP manufacturers, and industry partners.
• Maintain accurate and comprehensive documentation of experimental protocols, records, and data.

Requirements

• B.S. or M.S. in biochemistry, molecular and cell biology, bioengineering, chemical engineering, or a related field.
• Prior experience in mammalian cell culture, molecular biology techniques, or cell-based assays is preferred.
• Experience in assay development would be an advantage but is not required.
• Strong oral and written communication skills in English, good organizational skills, and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively as part of a team.

Interested applicants are invited to send in their full CV/resume, cover letter and list of three references (to include reference names and contact information). We regret that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
