Description

　　AbbVie Biologics Analytical Research & Development (Biologics ARD) is a global analytical sciences organization responsible for all CMC analytical activities related to the development of AbbVie's therapeutic biologic products. Our scope includes AbbVie's diverse pipeline of innovative therapeutic biologics medicines, including monoclonal antibodies, antibody drug conjugates (ADC), and other novel modalities, and spans from the selection of Discovery candidate molecules through the transition of analytical methods and testing to commercial labs to support product launch. We are building a world-class team of scientists and leaders who will drive the advancement of industry-leading analytical capabilities and make meaningful contributions to advance AbbVie's pipeline of innovative medicines. Careers in AbbVie Biologics ARD provide unique opportunities to work with global and cross-functional teams to drive exceptional science and innovative product development strategies.

　　The Analytical Innovation and Mass Spectrometry group within Biologics ARD is responsible for support of programs throughout their lifecycle. The team develops state-of-the-art analytical techniques for the characterization of antibody drug conjugates (ADC) and other novel biologic molecules using mass spectrometry and other advanced analytical techniques. Key deliverables include the development and execution of state of the art analytical methods, extended characterization of biologic molecules and work on cross-functional teams to develop ADC conjugation processes and drug product strategies. A successful candidate for this position will serve as a technical expert that will be able to: independently investigate, identify, develop and optimize new methods/ techniques to address critical project needs, continuously seek to improve existing laboratory methods and processes, read and adapt literature to accomplish assignments, and demonstrate mastery of broad range of experimental techniques and methods of data analysis.

　　Key Responsibilities

　　+ + Independently design, execute and interpret critical experiments to answer scientific questions.
