Pubblicato il 12-08-2026 - Thermo Fisher Scientific in Monza
**Work Schedule** **Environmental Conditions** **Scientist - mRNA Process & Analytical Development / Technology Transfer** **Location: Monza, Italy** At **Thermo Fisher Scientific**, our mission is to enable our customers to make the world healthier, cleaner, and safer. Within our expanding **mRNA/LNP platform**, we develop and scale next-generation RNA technologies that power innovative therapeutic solutions worldwide. If you are a scientist who wants to see your work move beyond the bench and into manufacturing — this is your opportunity. **The Opportunity** We are seeking an experienced and driven **Scientist** to join our growing international team at the forefront of **mRNA and lipid nanoparticle (LNP) process development**. This role sits at the intersection of **process development and technology transfer**, where science meets scalability. You will transform customer and internal mRNA/LNP processes into robust, manufacturing-ready solutions — directly impacting therapeutic programs. You will work hands-on across the full mRNA workflow, including: - Bioreactor-based **in vitro transcription (IVT)**
- **FPLC purification** (AKTA systems)
- **LNP formulation**
- **Tangential Flow Filtration (TFF)** Your experiments will not remain theoretical — you will see them scale, transfer, and operate in real-world manufacturing environments. This position is ideal for scientists who thrive in technically dynamic environments where scientific challenges evolve rapidly and priorities shift in response to innovative projects. **Your Impact**
- Develop, optimize, and characterize upstream and downstream mRNA processes
- Drive scale-up and scale-down studies to build robust, scalable development strategies
- Lead and support technology transfer activities from customer processes into internal PD and manufacturing environments
- Translate experimental findings into clear technical documentation, protocols, and development reports
- Collaborate cross-functionally with **MSAT, Manufacturing, QC/Analytical Development, Supply Chain, and Project Management**
- Contribute to investigations, troubleshooting, and continuous process improvements
- Present data-driven recommendations to internal stakeholders
- Mentor junior scientists and contribute to building technical excellence within the team **Your Profile** You are a hands-on scientist who enjoys solving complex technical challenges and seeing your work implemented at scale. You are analytical, adaptable, and comfortable operating in a fast-paced development environment. Education & Experience
- **Master’s degree** in Process Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Biotechnology, or related field with relevant industry experience
**or**
- **PhD** in Biochemistry, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Biological Engineering,
or related discipline with postdoctoral or industrial experience Technical Expertise
- Proven experience in **mRNA/LNP process development** or hands-on RNA/DNA processing in scalable, non-kit-based environments
- Strong experience with **chromatography systems (AKTA/FPLC)** and **TFF**
- Familiarity with regulated or industrial manufacturing environments
- Exposure to RNA analytical techniques (e.g., **U/HPLC, CE, Ribogreen assay, DLS**) is a strong advantage
- Experience in technology transfer or scale-up is highly desirable Working Style
- Strong analytical mindset and structured problem-solving approach
- Ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-moving environment
- Clear and confident technical communication skills
- Collaborative, proactive, and solution-oriented attitude Language Requirements
- Fluent English
- Intermediate Italian (to support effective site collaboration) **Why You’ll Love Working Here**
- Work at the cutting edge of **mRNA and LNP technologies**
- See your scientific work translate into **manufacturing reality**
- Join an international, multidisciplinary team with strong technical depth
- Contribute to programs that advance next-generation therapeutics
- Grow professionally in a fast-evolving field with strong development opportunities
- Operate in an environment where science, scalability, and impact intersect At Thermo Fisher Scientific, your expertise will directly enable scientific progress — turning innovative RNA technologies into scalable therapeutic solutions that make a real-world difference
