Envision spending your summer working with energetic colleagues and inspirational leaders, all while gaining world-class experience in one of the most dynamic organizations in the pharmaceutical industry. This is a reality for AbbVie Interns.  

The Molecular Toxicology group develops and applies in vitro models to support safety investigations into both small and large molecules. Using complex in vitro models across organ systems, we screen compounds and explore mechanisms underlying drug toxicity. The intern will gain experience using advanced models as well as cellular and molecular biology techniques to answer questions about compound safety. The objective of this project will be to apply and develop complex in vitro models for evaluating compound toxicities.  

Key responsibilities include: 

• Execute and analyze experiments to evaluate drug-induced changes in expression  
• Use complex in vitro models to investigate toxicities associated with compounds 
• Work collaboratively with team members to design experiments and explore data 
• Communicate updates through written reports and oral presentations
