JD Logistics Support Engineer

Are you inspired to make a big difference in the life expectancy of our patients?

CAR-T is an innovative treatment, which uses the power of the patient's own immune system. A patient's T-cells are genetically modified to eliminate cancer cells. This ground-breaking, innovative technology provides hopeful prospects to patients where other therapies have failed or fail to provide adequate results.

To support the CAR-T program in EMEA, J& J is building two CAR-T manufacturing centers in the Ghent area. A growing team of passionate talent is implementing the new sites, developing, and refining all tools, processes and procedures that ensure a highly reliable, safe, and efficient production process.
