Cogent Skills is working with Accord Healthcare Ltd to recruit three Degree Level Research Associate Apprentices for its Accord Biopharma London (ABL) lab in Harrow. The successful candidates will be employed by Cogent Skills Services but will undertake all on-the-job learning with Accord Healthcare.
This is your chance to join a world-leading biopharma company as a Degree Level Apprentice, working hands-on with therapeutic proteins and monoclonal antibodies that are transforming patient lives.
The ABL lab is built as a centre of excellence for Research and Development activities, aiming for biosimilar process development and novel biologics development for both human and veterinary use. Various functions in ABL include Upstream Process Development (UPD), Downstream Process Development (DSP), Analytical Development Lab (ADL), Bioanalytical Development Lab (BDL) and Drug Product Development (DPD or Formulation).
From day one, you’ll be based in a state-of-the-art laboratory, learning directly from experienced scientists and contributing to real-world drug development projects. You’ll gain a broad foundation in biopharma science while specialising in one of three exciting pathways:
Bioanalytical Development:
If you’re curious about how medicines work, this route is for you. You’ll learn to design and run bioassays, immunoassays, and potency tests to characterise therapeutic proteins and antibodies. Your work will help prove that new medicines are safe, stable, and effective, providing critical data that shapes the future of drug development.
Upstream Process Development:
If you’re fascinated by how medicines are made, this pathway will put you at the heart of biopharmaceutical production. You’ll grow and optimise cell cultures, operate bioreactors, and test process conditions to maximise yield and quality. Your work will ensure that life-changing medicines can be manufactured reliably and at scale.
Downstream Process Development:
If you’re fascinated by how medicines are made, this path will provide you opportunity to learn and execute the protein/antibody purification. Downstream processing refers to the purification and separation of the target product following the upstream process. This phase utilises advanced high-throughput capabilities that allow for the development of multiple stages of chromatography and non-chromatography unit operations. These processes employ cutting-edge techniques for protein separation and purification.
There are three roles available: one in Bioanalytical Development (BDL), one in Upstream Process Development (UPD) and one in Downstream Process Development (DSP).
Key responsibilities:
Conduct process development activities like cell culture process, downstream or analytical function related
Prepare and document media, feeds, buffers, and supplements accurately and in a timely manner
Monitor experiment performance by regularly recording parameters responding to deviations or unexpected trends
Set up, operate, clean, and maintain equipment & analytical tools
Adhere to standard operating procedures (SOPs), good documentation practices (GDP), and good laboratory practices (GLP)
Follow and promote all EHS (Environmental Health and Safety) procedures and safety guidelines in the lab
Ensure proper handling and storage of chemicals, biological materials, and lab waste and support in preparing risk assessments and COSHH
Take personal ownership of assigned tasks and ensure timely, high-quality execution with minimal supervision
Work collaboratively with peers across functions to support overall project timelines
Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives within the lab, including equipment maintenance, process improvements
