Job Description
Join AbbVie as a Senior Principal Research Scientist and shape the future of neurotoxin biopharmaceuticals. AbbVie is seeking a highly skilled Senior Principal Research Scientist to join our Biologics Analytical R&D team in Irvine, CA.
With a focus on innovation and excellence, you'll play a key role in advancing our Neurotoxin Pipeline.
As a Senior Principal Research Scientist, you will collaborate with cross-functional development teams to support current and next-generation Neurotoxin Pipeline projects.
This role demands a forward-thinking professional who can develop analytical strategies for long-acting injectables, combination products, and sustained release formulations.
You will design customized strategies for each program to support the developability assessment of novel and genetically modified neurotoxins at nano-gram level protein concentrations.
Key Responsibilities :
Analytical Control Strategies : Employ both established and emerging analytical tools and next-generation technologies to create efficient, effective analytical strategies.
Strategic Development : Lead SMEs in developing fit-for-purpose methods for the neurotoxin product pipeline through early phase development.
Method Transfer : Ensure successful transfer of methods to late-phase development teams to support commercialization and robustness activities.
Molecule Characterization : Develop strategies to fully characterize various biologic molecules and formulations.
Early Development Support : Provide critical support in lead optimization, candidate nomination, and selection of novel and modified neurotoxins.
Formulation Support : Support Neurotoxins and recombinant Neurotoxins in variety of different formulations, drug delivery vehicles (nanoparticles, sustained release, etc.
and presentations (such as lyophilized, liquid, injectables etc.).
Method Optimization : Develop and optimize analytical methods to enable GLP Tox and early clinical material supplies.
Leadership Collaboration : Partner with leadership team to define analytical strategy, timelines, and objectives.
Capability Enhancement : Assess and integrate new analytical capabilities, ensuring that technical competencies remain contemporary and focused.
Regulatory Compliance : Operate in compliance with AbbVie internal policies and applicable regulatory requirements, especially in biosafety level 2 laboratories.
