Research / Product Development Scientist: Nanotechnology (London Biotech Start-up) I am currently working exclusively with a London based biotech who have developed advanced instrumentation to analyse nanoparticles at the single particle level.

As adoption grows, my client is looking for a scientist who can bridge research, product development, and real-world application. The Role: This is not a pure lab role.

You’ll help shape how the technology is used, improve how it performs, and support users in getting meaningful results. You’ll be working closely with engineers, applications specialists, and external partners so the ability to translate complex science into practical use matters just as much as technical depth.
