Hampton, United Kingdom Touchlight Full time

Touchlight is focussed on” The Making of DNA”.


Through the Covid pandemic, this quiet revolution has been propelled into the spotlight with the scale-up and proof of concept of RNA and DNA based vaccines. In addition, the stellar growth in viral and non-viral cell and gene therapy discovery and development has accelerated the need for a better quality, faster and more robust DNA manufacturing technology.


Our CDMO and technology is built on the conviction that DNA is fundamental to the future of medicine.


By moving away from today's restrictive biological approaches, we have made DNA manufacturing simple. Our unique dbDNA™ (or "doggybone" DNA) vector is optimised for use in advanced genetic medicines, being safer and more efficacious than conventional plasmid DNA. The platform, based on enzymatic technology, enables DNA production at unprecedented scale, speed and purity.


We are leveraging our platform to enable the next generation of Genetic Medicines.


Our CDMO Focus is on:

· Nucleic Acid Medicines (mRNA & DNA)

· ex-vivo & in-vivo cell and genetic medicines

· Gene therapy using viral vectors and gene editing

· Autologous & Allogenic cell therapy


We are currently seeking a Project Manager (FTC - 12 months) to support the next phase of our exciting and ambitious growth journey.
