Lead and support the site’s microbiology and Environmental Monitoring (EM) program, including sampling strategy, cleanroom monitoring, data review, trending, and evaluation of alert and action level excursions to ensure compliance with cGMP and contamination control requirements.
Analyze microbial samples to quantify growth and subculture pure isolates as required, providing support and assistance with environmental monitoring activities.
Lead microbiological investigations involving environmental monitoring excursions, contamination events, out-of-specification (OOS) results, deviations, and CAPAs, using scientific, risk-based decision making to identify root causes and implement effective corrective actions.
Provide microbiological support for sterile radiopharmaceutical manufacturing operations, including aseptic processing, cleanroom and classified area activities, hot cell or isolator operations, line clearance, and campaign-based production activities.
Support contamination control strategy execution by identifying microbial risks, evaluating trends, and partnering with Manufacturing, Quality Assurance, Engineering, Facilities, MSAT, and Validation to drive effective corrective actions.
Author, revise, and review SOPs, validation protocols, validation reports, technical assessments, and investigation documentation in accordance with cGMP, USP, FDA, and applicable regulatory expectations.
Support aseptic process simulations, media fills, cleaning and disinfection effectiveness studies, cleanroom qualification, smoke studies, and process performance activities, as applicable.
Provide day-to-day technical guidance, mentoring, and training to Microbiology Technicians and other laboratory personnel, serving as a technical resource in support of the Manager, Sterility Assurance.
Develop and deliver technical training on microbiological methods, aseptic practices, and cGMP requirements for laboratory personnel.
Manage inventory of laboratory supplies and provide technical input regarding laboratory resource needs and equipment to support efficient laboratory operations.
