Job Description

Are you passionate about significantly improving the future of medicine? Do you believe that people are the most important asset of any company? If so, join Amplify Bio !

Amplify Bio is a leading contract research organization with a comprehensive range of services that span from being an outsourcing partner for discovery stage R&D work, a preclinical CRO performing safety efficacy and toxicology studies for small molecules and advanced therapies alike, and, most recently, an expansion into manufacturing services for cell, gene, and mRNA-based therapeutics.

The Amplify Bio ecosystem is comprised of three distinct business units: ADOC (South San Francisco, CA)– Amplify's Discovery, Optimization, and Characterization laboratories: ASET (West Jefferson, OH) – Amplify's Safety, Efficacy, and Toxicology Site; and the most recently opened AMEC (New Albany, OH) – Amplify's Manufacturing Enablement Center.
