Scientist II, Biologics Drug Product Development
- The core role of BCD is to deliver meaningful and actionable data to support the selection of candidate molecules to progress through the pipeline into later stages of development.
- The group applies high-throughput (HT) assays and leverages automation to enable screening on a wide range of biologics.
- We are currently undertaking a multi-year initiative to collect data on a diverse selection of molecules using these established HT screening assays and automation.
Key Responsibilities Include:
- Sample preparation, data collection, and data analysis on established HT screening assays.
- Method development and execution of novel HT assays.
- Maintain an electronic lab notebook in alignment with company documentation policies.
- Stay current with scientific literature and support new scientific initiatives.
Qualifications
- BS or MS in a scientific field and typically 4 (BS) or 2 (MS) years of relevant experience.
- Hands-on experience using analytical methods for chemical and structural characterization of biologics e.g. HPLC/UPLC, capillary electrophoresis, and other biophysical techniques (UV-vis, DLS, DSF, etc.) for protein characterization is a requirement.
- Scientific understanding of the structure & function of monoclonal antibodies, antibody constructs/conjugates, bispecifics, and fusion proteins and their modes of degradation/stabilization.
- Strong laboratory skills focused on formulation development for monoclonal antibodies and antibody constructs/conjugates (standard excipient selection, functional excipients, high throughput assays).
- Desired: Experience with digital data capture tools and systems
