Solihull, Solihull, United Kingdom Touchlight Full time

Touchlight is dedicated to "The Making of DNA".

In light of the Covid pandemic, our innovative approach has gained significant attention, particularly with the advancement and validation of RNA and DNA-based vaccines. Furthermore, the remarkable expansion in both viral and non-viral cell and gene therapy research and development has intensified the demand for superior quality, expedited, and more reliable DNA manufacturing technologies.

Our Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO) and technology are founded on the belief that DNA is essential for the future of healthcare.

By departing from the conventional biological methods of today, we have simplified DNA manufacturing. Our proprietary dbDNATM (or "doggybone" DNA) vector is optimized for use in cutting-edge genetic therapies, offering enhanced safety and efficacy compared to traditional plasmid DNA. This platform, which utilizes enzymatic technology, facilitates DNA production at unmatched scale, speed, and purity.

We are harnessing our platform to empower the next generation of Genetic Therapies.

Our CDMO Focus includes:

  • Nucleic Acid Therapies (mRNA & DNA)
  • Ex-vivo & In-vivo cellular and genetic therapies
  • Gene therapy utilizing viral vectors and gene editing techniques
  • Autologous & Allogenic cell therapies

Quality Control Analyst Position

Touchlight is currently in search of a Quality Control Analyst to become a part of its Quality Control division. The Quality Control Analyst will play a crucial role in supporting the Quality Control (QC) laboratory with the routine QC testing of produced dbDNA for our clientele and internal projects.

This role will involve close collaboration with other operational divisions to address Quality and product requirements. Key responsibilities will encompass the daily QC evaluation of raw and finished products through molecular biology and biochemical methodologies, preparation of reagents, receipt of goods, sample handling, procurement, maintenance of cleanliness, verification of equipment and instruments, and thorough documentation.

The QC Analyst will report to the QC Manager and, in support of the Head of Quality Assurance, will ensure compliance with regulatory standards. This position is set in a dynamic, fast-paced environment ideal for self-driven, organized, meticulous, and highly precise individuals who can effectively contribute to and thrive within a multi-talented and compliance-focused team.

Qualifications:

  • A background in a scientific field (MSc is advantageous)
  • Experience in a GMP environment, preferably within a CDMO
  • Extensive experience in a QC setting and organizational skills
  • Familiarity with reagent preparation and material management
  • Proficiency in various QC techniques such as HPLC/UPLC, Bioburden assessment, Environmental Monitoring, and Gel Electrophoresis
