Panther Life Sciences Process Development Co-Op at Panther Life Sciences focusing on filling and drying steps of microarray patch manufacturing. Run experiments, integrate new equipment, and analyze data to optimize processes for pilot production.

Responsibilities

This is a 6-month co-op that begins in January 2027, with the option to extend through the summer.
The Process Development Co-Op will focus on critical process steps in the filling and drying of our microarray patches (MAPs). Collaborating closely with the Process Development, Formulation and Device teams, you will help refine our existing processes and drive their continuous optimization.
This is a hands-on lab role with real ownership. You will run experiments on the steps that matter most to how our patches are made, help bring new equipment, including a Nordson dispensing system and vacuum-based filling, into our process, and turn what you learn into data the team uses to make decisions. Your work will feed directly into the updated process we use for pilot production runs in our clean room, as Panther moves toward its first product launch.
The Impact You’ll Make in Your Co-Op
A fully integrated, updated process for clean room pilot production runs.
Characterization of MAPs manufactured with the updated process.
Complete datasets of experimental runs and results, documented so the team can build on them.
Run Experiments on Critical Process Steps
Plan and execute experiments on the filling and drying steps of MAP manufacturing.
Operate and troubleshoot lab equipment, including pumps, dispensing and vacuum systems.
Characterize patches made in each run, including inspection by microscopy.
Keep a complete, accurate laboratory notebook for every experiment.
