Deadline:
 25th January 2026

About BestHealth4U

At BestHealth4U, we're shaping the future of medical solutions through innovation, sustainability, and patient-centred design. Our latest innovation, Bio2Skin, is a pioneering bio-based adhesive platform that redefines how medical devices interact with the skin — ensuring strong yet gentle adhesion while protecting skin integrity and promoting long-term health.

About the Role

We are seeking a Mid-Level R&D Scientist to lead the development and optimization of bio-based, biocompatible adhesive materials for medical applications. This role will focus on advancing the Bio2Skin platform and translating scientific insights into scalable, high-performance formulations.

What You'll Do

  • Design, synthesize, and characterize bio-based polymeric adhesives for skin-contact medical devices

  • Develop and optimize polyester-based formulations, ensuring controlled adhesion and biocompatibility

  • Perform chemical, physical and mechanical testing to evaluate performance under various conditions

  • Collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams (chemists, biomedical engineers, clinicians) to bridge lab-scale innovation with product development

  • Contribute to scientific publications, patents, and regulatory documentation supporting product validation and certification.

What We're Looking For

  • PhD in Chemistry, Polymer Science, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, or related fields

  • At least 2 years of industrial R&D experience, preferably in adhesive systems or polymeric materials

  • Proven experience with adhesive formulation, polymer synthesis, and characterization techniques (FTIR, DSC, TGA, rheometry, SEM, adhesion, etc.)

  • Strong understanding of bio-based polymers, skin-bonding systems, and structure–property relationships in polymer networks

  • Knowledge of medical device standards and biocompatibility requirements (e.g. ISO 10993, MDR) is an asset

  • Creative thinker with a problem-solving mindset, capable of working independently and collaboratively in a deeptech startup environment.

Why Join Us

  • Be part of a pioneering project redefining the medical adhesive landscape

  • Contribute directly to a sustainable, clinically relevant innovation addressing a major unmet need (MARSI prevention)

  • Collaborate with a passionate, multidisciplinary team at the intersection of materials science, MedTech, and green innovation

  • Competitive salary and an inspiring, flexible work environment.
