Nuclear medicine has evolved considerably over recent years with the emergence of radiotherapeutics used in the treatment of cancers. The principle is based on the fact that radiotherapeutics can bring radioisotopes to the cancer cells which when they decay, emit radiation that destroys selectively the tumour. Among this therapeutic radioisotopes, one of the most promising is the alpha-emitting Actinium-225 which is used in the development of new radiotherapeutics by many pharmaceutical companies. One of the main challenges is to make this radioisotope available in high quality in large quantities. By joining their unique expertise and resources SCK-CEN and IBA have launched the company PanTera which aims at enabling the production of Actinium-225 and make it available for the pharmaceutical industry. Purpose of the Position Pantera is starting up a QC lab that will be responsible to examine the quality of the Ac-225 produced by Pantera. Analysis will be performed to guarantee that Ac-225 meets specifications to be safely injected into patients. As the product will be used for patients the Ac-225 production and analysis will be performed under current good manufacturing practices (cGMP). As QC Lab analyst you will be part of the QC team and work under direct supervision of the QC Manager. You will be responsible for analysis of the Ac-225 batches produced by Pantera. You will, as part of the team, play an active role in in the development of new analysis methods and validation of the equipment and methods used. We are looking for a candidate with a strong analytical mindset and a keen sense for organization and structure. As part of a small team proactivity, flexibility and teamwork are key. The candidate is open to learn new analytical techniques and to work with radioactive material. Sample preparation for QC analysis Analysis of “in process control” samples and Ac-225 batches produced by Pantera with various techniques such as gamma spectrometry, ICP-MS… Report data following standard protocols Control of raw materials (incoming goods) QC equipment qualification, calibration and maintenance Involved in method development and validation together with the quality team Writing of standard operation procedures (SOPs) Subcontractor analytical lab interactions Bachelor analytical chemistry or related At least a few years of experience in a similar role Experience in radiochemical analysis is a plus but not necessary. Experience in working in a GMP environment Willing to learn new techniques and to work adhering to strict regulations Skills and competences Demonstrates strong analytical skills, eye for detail Capable of working independently as well as in team Quick learner and able to work in a fast-changing environment Ability to adhere to high standards, GMP and regulatory requirements Our offer Unique opportunity to work in a cutting-edge environment, contributing to the production of critical pro...
