Principal Formulation Chemist
Principal Formulation Chemists lead the design and development of pharmaceutical formulations that optimize the delivery, stability, and bioavailability of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). They oversee pre-formulation studies, develop new drug delivery systems, and guide products through scale-up and tech transfer.
Key responsibilities:
Designing dosage forms – Including tablets, capsules, suspensions, injectables, or inhalables tailored to the physicochemical properties of the API.
Conducting compatibility and stability studies – Using analytical methods like HPLC, DSC, and particle sizing to evaluate formulation performance over time.
Guiding scale-up and GMP manufacturing – Working with process engineers and quality teams to ensure reproducibility and regulatory readiness.
Leading formulation strategy – Including QbD approaches, DoE experimental planning, and documentation for regulatory submissions (e.g. IND, NDA, MA).
Mentoring formulation scientists – Providing scientific and strategic leadership to support R&D milestones and client projects.
This role typically requires experience with excipients, granulation, lyophilization, and other pharmaceutical manufacturing techniques, along with strong knowledge of ICH, FDA, and EMA expectations.
Feltham
Feltham is a town in the west London Borough of Hounslow, approximately 13 miles from central London and 2 miles from Heathrow Airport. Due to its close proximity to Heathrow airport, one of the busiest international airports in the world, one of the largest business sectors and employers in the area is logistics. Even before the development of Heathrow airport, Feltham had been associated with both rail and air transport for many years. Large numbers of aircraft were manufactured in the area, particularly during World War 2, and the town was also a major centre for rail freight. The borough of Hounslow is also a technology hub, with hi-tech companies accounting for nearly 20% of all businesses. Although many people work locally, Feltham’s good rail and road connections into London make it a popular commuter area too.
Famous people from Feltham: Freddie Mercury, lead singer with Queen grew up in Feltham and Jimmy Carr, comedian was born nearby.
