Particle Id Expert

CAR-T is an innovative blood cancer treatment that uses the strength of the patient's own immune system. The patient's T-cells are genetically modified to eliminate the cancer cells. This advanced technology offers hopeful prospects to patients for whom other therapies provide no or insufficient results.

We are therefore working passionately on expanding our capacity for CAR-T treatments in Europe, both at our existing site in Beerse and in Ghent, where we have developed a new production site.

We are looking for strong talents who are eager to participate in this innovative and hopeful venture.

The Innovative Medicine Supply Chain Group, a member of the Johnson & Johnson family of companies, is therefore recruiting a Particle ID expert for the CAR-T hub in Europe.

The position will be based in Beerse Belgium.
