Chemist Jobs in Pennsylvania

A Chemist in the biotechnology industry conducts research and experiments to identify, develop, and improve products, processes, and materials. Their role encompasses studying the chemical and physical properties of substances, analyzing organic and synthetic materials to determine their chemical composition and behavior, and creating new and improved chemical compounds.

Additionally, they ensure compliance with environmental, safety, and other regulatory standards.
