Description
Department Summary
As part of the clients Research and Early Development (gRED) organization, the Synthetic Molecule Pharmaceutics department helps Clients next generation of therapeutics transition from pre-clinical research into clinical development. Our team specializes in synthetic molecules and novel modalities (e.g., nucleic acids, peptides, conjugates) that are given to patients via parenteral routes of administration (e.g., intravenous, subcutaneous, intrathecal, intravitreal). We develop formulations, innovative drug delivery approaches, and manufacturing processes that help bring these novel therapeutics to patients across therapeutic areas.
The Opportunity
We are seeking a collaborative, curious, and motivated contractor to support parenteral formulation development and drug delivery in the Synthetic Molecule Pharmaceutics group at clients campus. In this role, you will contribute to our research and development efforts for our pipeline programs.
The primary responsibilities for this role include:
Independently prepare drug product formulations with different compositions to support pre-clinical studies and pharmaceutics work packages
Investigate and establish drug product processes to make simple and complex dosage forms, including nanoparticle-based formulations
Analyze formulations with a variety of different analytical techniques to assess physicochemical properties, composition, and structure
Clearly and contemporaneously document experimental findings in electronic lab notebook and in presentations
Review and process experimental data, identify data trends and takeaways, and propose hypothesis-driven follow-up experiments
Collaborate with internal and external groups to complete key job responsibilities and share results
