Company Description
You will join an exciting and innovative business who have developed and patented a novel drug delivery carrier. They can load it with a range of ingredients, ranging from DNA to vitamins and proteins. They are also able to alter the design of their carrier to be polypharmaceutical, allowing several different methods for administration and timed release. This means the carrier can be used across the cosmetic, pharmaceutical and animal health sectors.

The facility will be manufacturing different versions of the carrier for cosmetic and pharmaceutical products.
Working within a small team, the Formulation Scientist based in Guildford may also have to travel to the company’s premises in Dunsfold Park.
