At DEMO SA, one of the world's largest pharmaceutical manufacturers in injectable facilities, we are excited to kick-off our Biotechnology project in Athens.

The field of Biotechnology is bringing about fascinating developments in medicine, treatments, and healthcare, as new, effective medicines are being produced from extremely complex natural compounds, with a biological origin. Demo leads the way in the Greek pharmaceutical market with major investments in Biotechnology

• We are building a prototype unit for the development of monoclonal antibodies
• We are creating a contemporary Research and Development Center for biotechnology
• We are starting research for three finished pharmaceutical products with monoclonal antibodies
• We are establishing a Biotechnology Academy to train young scientists. Biotechnology is becoming part of our lives.

As a result, we are currently looking for a high caliber Analytical Development Senior Specialist Mass Spectrometry:
