Department Description
AbbVie Product Development Science & Technology -Analytical Sciences is a global analytical science organization responsible for all CMC analytical activities related to the clinical development and commercialization of AbbVies pharmaceutical and other scope includes AbbVies diverse pipeline of innovative small molecule medicines including New Chemical Entities (NCEs) Antibody Drug Conjugate (ADC) drug linkers peptides and oligonucleotides and spans from clinical development to commercial product 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 AbbVies pipeline of innovative medicines and ensure the commercial manufacturing success.
Job Description:
We are seeking a highly motivated experienced scientist with strong scientific and leadership experience to support the development of small molecule and peptide drug candidates in both clinical and commercialization stages. The candidate should have extensive expertise in oral drug product development analytical method development dissolution biopharmaceutics and Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling.
He/ She should be able to conduct research and/or project activities by effectively designing and performing experiments mentoring guiding and/or supervising scientific personnel. He/she will advance fundamental understanding of drug release and product performance by developing the bioequivalence safe space and/or IVIVC using physiologically based biopharmaceutics modeling through close collaborations with key partners.
He/she will establish collaborative and productive working relationships with key partner organizations to define successful process development strategies. He/he will effectively manage interfaces to ensure seamless transition of research programs into late-stage clinical development and technology transfers to commercial manufacturing and testing sites.
