- The Biologics CMC Developability (BCD) group sits at the interface of discovery and development. The core role of BCD is to generate developability insights that inform candidate selection, molecular optimization, and advancement decisions across Client's biologics pipeline. Developability assessments focus on identifying manufacturability, formulation, stability, and product quality risks early in development to enable selection of robust drug candidates. Our team works across a wide range of therapeutic areas and diverse classes of biologics therapeutics, including monoclonal antibodies, bispecific and multispecific antibodies, antibody drug conjugates (Client), fusion proteins, and emerging biologic modalities.
- We are looking for a highly motivated person to support these developability efforts and early-stage assessment of candidates to move Client’s ever-evolving pipeline forward. In this role, the candidate will be part of a global team and will work closely with scientists from multiple functional areas, including Discovery, Analytical, and Process R&D.
- Support candidate screening activities by executing characterization studies including conformational stability assessment via differential scanning fluorimetry/calorimetry experiments, solution viscosity determination, and other techniques
- Evaluate drug candidate chemical and physical stability against different solution conditions (pH, ionic strength, temperature, light, etc.) and physical stresses arising from manufacturing process conditions (freeze thaw, mixing, filtration, filling, and lyophilization)
- Communicate scientific findings and development risks through clear presentations and technical reports to cross-functional teams and senior stakeholders
- Stay current with the literature and support new scientific initiatives
- Bachelor’s degree with 2-4 years of experience master’s degree with 1-2 years of relent lab experience. PhDs are considered as overqualified.
- Strong background with biologics / large molecule formulation
- Must have hands-on experience working with proteins in some capacity, preferably antibodies.
- HPLC or UPLC experience REQUIRED
- Strong laboratory skills focused on chemical and structural characterization of biologics (HPLC/UPLC, SEC, capillary electrophoresis, icIEF, particle analysis, DLS, DSF, DSC, UV-Vis, and related developability assessment techniques)
- Experience performing chemical and physical stability against different solution conditions
- Candidates that are relocating must be able to do so 2-4 weeks after an offer and have a valid US work authorization before starting.
