Position Description: 

The incumbent in this role will support the formulation & process development of protein biologics for clinical stage molecules with a specific focus on highly potent molecules for therapeutics and aesthetic use.  

This position requires laboratory work in areas requiring select agents and highly-potent-compound access (i.e., Biosafety level 2 laboratories). Access to and use of select agents is regulated by federal policies. Therefore, the candidate must conduct all work activities in compliance with AbbVie internal and applicable regulatory requirements. AbbVie internal requirements include compliance with ethics, environmental health and safety, financial, human resources, and general business policies, requirements, and objectives. 

Responsibilities

• Design and execute formulation composition and drug product process development studies for sterile liquids, lyophilized, and pre-filled dosage forms. 
• Manufacture drug product formulation batches for evaluating formulation stability and/or to support in vivo studies. 
• Conduct clinical in-use studies to guide dose administration. 
• Interpret results and draw conclusions from multistage experiments; note significant deviations and propose relevant new experiments accordingly. 
• Generate high-quality data based on sound scientific understanding and prepare formulation data summaries, technical reports, and scientific presentations. 
• Support functional technical initiatives by investigating and developing novel experimental approaches and/or technologies in the field of drug product development. 
• Accurately document and report experiments in full compliance with GSP standards
