CONTINUUS Pharmaceuticals Job Posting

ABOUT CONTINUUS
CONTINUUS Pharmaceuticals is a spin-out company from the Novartis-MIT Center for

Continuous Manufacturing. We design and develop innovative continuous manufacturing

processes for pharmaceutical clients, providing an exceptional “one-stop solution” for the entire

drug development and manufacturing cycle.

Rather than producing medicines through traditional batch processes, CONTINUUS offers a

breakthrough Integrated Continuous Manufacturing (ICM) technology for small molecule drugs.

The synthesis of the active pharmaceutical ingredient and final dosage form are integrated into

a seamless and completely automated process. This novel method will allow “on-demand”

manufacturing of pharmaceuticals with significant advantages in production lead time, quality,

and cost.

Our pipeline is rapidly growing, with exciting projects with pharmaceutical and generic

companies, where we will leverage our novel ICM platform to produce low-cost, high-quality

drugs for patients worldwide. Essential to our evolution will be talented new team members who

will contribute greatly to this mission. Join us and be part of a multidisciplinary team solving

unmet medical needs. We look forward to meeting you.
