About Sanofi

We’re an R&D-driven, AI-powered biopharma company committed to improving people’s lives and delivering compelling growth. Our deep understanding of the immune system – and innovative pipeline – enables us to invent medicines and vaccines that treat and protect millions of people around the world. Together, we chase the miracles of science to improve people’s lives.

Main Responsibilities:

• The successful candidate will work with their supervisor to independently design, plan, and conduct cell culture experiments at different scales, including shake flasks, ambr15, ambr250, and 3L/10L bench-top bioreactors to support platform development initiatives.

• Process and analyze experimental results using data automation platforms, interpreting outcomes such as growth rates, nutrient uptake/secretion profiles, and intracellular metabolite levels to support media development efforts.

• Collaborate with the modeling team to generate high-quality experimental data that constrains and validates computational models, applying coding skills to support flux balance analysis (FBA), metabolic flux analysis (MFA), kinetic modeling, and other computational metabolic modeling workflows.

• You will have the opportunity to contribute to protocol and report writing, and present findings in respective functional areas.

• You will be exposed to cell culture development platforms and potentially involved in multiple projects, such as fed-batch process development, perfusion process development, media development, and high-throughput automation development.

• Prepare samples for LC-MS analysis using automated liquid handling technology and process the results using a data automation platform.
