  • Develop downstreaming strategies based on multi 100 gram lab scale experiments to isolate different product streams as fine chemicals to fuel aevoloop’s product development

  • Validate your devised strategies with upscaling trials at CDMOs to create end-to-end processes for purifying complex product mixtures into pure fine chemicals

  • Develop analytical methods to assess the properties and purity of the input and output streams to derive product specifications
