About ATMP Norway

ATMP Norway is a national infrastructure dedicated to advancing the development, manufacturing, and clinical translation of advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs), including gene therapies, cell therapies, and tissue-engineered products. The initiative aims to bridge the gap between preclinical research and clinical application. GMP certified production is to be established, using both existing and new state of the art facilities. The initiative will foster regional expertise, and provide scalable, quality-controlled technologies. By facilitating collaboration between academic researchers and industrial developers, ATMP Norway strengthens Norway’s position in regenerative medicine and precision therapies, enhances international competitiveness, and accelerates the development of novel treatments.

To support this effort, Oslo University Hospital (OUH) is establishing a new national GMP-certified Quality Control (QC) Laboratory to ensure the safety, efficacy, and quality of ATMPs through rigorous molecular testing and analysis. 

We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced professional to establish and lead the (QC) function for our ATMP programs. The QC Responsible will coordinate all activities required to set up and maintain a GMP-compliant QC laboratory with focus on rapid release testing for cell and gene therapy products.

 

Oslo University Hospital is a workplace with great diversity. We believe this is crucial to solving our tasks in the best possible way. We want this diversity to be reflected among the applicants for our positions, and encourage all qualified candidates, regardless of background, to apply.
