Cell Line Development Project Manager

ATUM is looking for a motivated life sciences professional to join our Cell Line Development Project Management team.

ATUM (www.atum.bio) is a world-leading bioengineering company. We conduct research to advance our in-house technology platforms and to develop new ways to apply them to solve important biotechnological or pharmaceutical deficiencies.

We provide diverse, and often highly tailored, solutions to a broad range of clients across the globe.
