Research Scientist - API

Role & responsibilities

1. Good knowledge of synthetic organic chemistry.

2. Performing literature searches for the molecules that reaction is being carried out and understanding of the chemistries Strong skills in designing, optimizing, and scaling up synthetic chemical processes.

3. Plan and conduct experiments for chemical synthesis, ensuring the process can be reproduced and scaled up efficiently.

4. Design scalable synthetic processes that avoid patent infringement, especially for API (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients) development.

5. Improve processes to make them industrially feasible, reduce costs, and enhance efficiency for existing products.

6. Validate synthetic processes at both laboratory and production plant scales.

7. Plant support for trial & validation batches. And troubleshooting of plant concerns.

8. Literature survey through various scientific databases.

9. Interpretation of NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance), IR (Infrared Spectroscopy), MS (Mass Spectrometry), XRPD(X-Ray Powder Diffraction)and chromatography data

10. Knowledge of scale-up processes, and familiarity with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and ICH-guideline.

11. Hands-on experience with bench-scale and pilot-scale synthesis is essential.

Skilled in preparing detailed reports, presentations and technical documents like SOPs, process development reports, costing sheets, and technology transfer documents.
