Hampshire, Full Time ABJ6761

ONSITE - 5 days – PERM

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced In-Vitro Regulatory Toxicology Scientist to join a leading scientific research and product development organisation focused on in-vitro and pre-clinical assessment. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced scientist to take a technically influential role within a multidisciplinary environment, contributing to advanced pre-clinical testing capabilities across in-vitro science, product development and regulatory toxicology.

You will provide technical expertise and scientific direction across in-vitro Regulatory and Genetic Toxicology, supporting pre-clinical research, product development and regulatory programmes. The role will suit an experienced toxicologist with strong hands-on laboratory expertise who can work independently, lead technical activities and collaborate with internal teams and external partners.

Key Responsibilities

· Provide technical expertise in the development and application of in-vitro Regulatory Toxicology approaches.

· Lead and execute in-vitro studies, delivering robust, reliable and scientifically defensible data.

· Develop, optimise and apply Neutral Red, Ames and in-vitro micronucleus assays.

· Apply complex cell culture, exposure techniques and biological testing methodologies to investigate product safety and potential human health effects.

· Interpret experimental findings and bridge in-vitro data with analytical, human-use and clinical information where appropriate.

· Provide technical direction for new testing capabilities, methodologies and assessment strategies.

· Plan and deliver technical work programmes to agreed timescales, quality standards and objectives.

· Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams across Preclinical Science, Analytical Science, Toxicology, Clinical and Product Development.

· Build relationships with external technical partners, CROs, academic groups and specialist consultants.

· Support method transfer, validation and implementation of new technologies.

· Ensure data is generated and managed in line with appropriate quality and regulatory requirements within controlled, quality-assured laboratory environments.

· Contribute to continuous improvement of laboratory methods, processes and scientific capabilities.

· Prepare, author and peer-review scientific reports, technical documentation, regulatory materials, presentations and publications.

· Support external scientific collaborations, including method transfer and inter-laboratory validation.

Experience & Skills Required

· Degree, MSc or PhD in Biological Sciences, Toxicology, Pharmacology, Biomedical Sciences, Cell Biology, Molecular Biology or a related discipline.

· Significant practical experience in in-vitro Regulatory Toxicology, Genetic Toxicology or pre-clinical area.

· Hands-on experience with Neutral Red, Ames and/or in-vitro micronucleus testing.

· Strong experience in complex cell culture, exposure techniques, biological assays and data interpretation.

· Experience developing, optimising, transferring or validating in-vitro testing methodologies.

· Understanding of relevant regulatory toxicology guidelines, including OECD, ECVAM and ICCVAM.

· Experience within a controlled, quality-assured laboratory environment, ideally with GMP, GLP or GxP.

· Ability to assess complex biological datasets using appropriate data analysis, computational or bioinformatics.

· Experience contributing to regulatory submissions, scientific reports, technical documentation or external scientific communications.

Desirable

· Experience in disease modelling, molecular toxicology or adverse outcome pathway frameworks.

· Knowledge of bioinformatics, computational biology or advanced biological data analysis.

· Experience with high-content screening, high-throughput assays or innovative in-vitro platforms.

· Experience managing CROs, suppliers or scientific collaborations.
