Many types of biological products are currently under development including vaccines, therapeutic proteins, natural products, gene therapies and key intermediates for chemical synthesis.

BPR&D is located at the Rahway, NJ and West Point, PA sites, housed in state-of-the-art research facilities. Scientists and engineers at both sites work on fermentation, cell culture and downstream processing of vaccines, gene therapy products and therapeutic proteins. In addition, the West Point group also focuses on the analysis and characterization of biological products and the Rahway group develops processes for natural products and bioconversions. Our researchers work together in various project teams in a fast paced and stimulating environment, and are encouraged to publish and present their work. There are also abundant opportunities for professional growth within the Department and throughout the Company.

BPR&D consists of BS, MS and PhD engineers and scientists who have diverse backgrounds such as chemical and biochemical engineering, biochemistry, microbiology, virology and chemistry, as well as laboratory and pilot plant operations. If you have a strong background in any of these areas and a desire to help make products that save human lives, submit your resume to be considered for the exciting career opportunities available in MRL Bioprocess Research & Development.
