Develop and implement comprehensive research strategies to optimize LNP formulations and delivery systems, leveraging a deep understanding of lipid nanoparticle technology and its applications.
  6.  
Establish and maintain strong relationships with external partners, including contract research organizations (CROs) and academic collaborators, to support preclinical studies and ensure timely project execution, including technology transfer and QC.

  8.  
Drive the generation of high-quality scientific data to support regulatory submissions, including IND filing, and advance product development milestones.
 10.  
Collaborate cross-functionally with colleagues in research, clinical development, regulatory affairs, and manufacturing to integrate non-clinical findings into overall product development strategies.
