Formulation Scientist in Nottingham

Quotient Sciences is a leading drug development and manufacturing accelerator, helping biotech and pharma companies bring new medicines to patients faster. With over 35 years of experience and a track record of success, we provide Drug Product (CDMO) and Clinical (CRO) services across the entire development pathway, including formulation development, clinical pharmacology, clinical trials, and commercial product manufacturing.

Our proprietary and disruptive platform – “Translational Pharmaceutics®” – integrates Drug Product Manufacturing and Clinical Testing to eliminate silos in the drug development process. This in turn reduces costs, improves outcomes, and significantly accelerates drug development times.

This is an excellent opportunity to contribute to the development of innovative drug products that progress quickly into clinical manufacture. As part of our formulation development team, you will support both formulation and radiolabelling activities that underpin Quotient Sciences’ integrated Translational Pharmaceutics offering. Working within a regulated environment, you will help design, prepare, characterise and transfer formulations and radiolabelling methods into GMP clinical manufacturing, ensuring each process is robust, compliant and ready for clinical delivery.
