Where they can keep growing and look after their wellbeing. So, if you share our ambition, join us at this exciting moment in our journey to get Ahead Together.
Department Description
The Immunogenicity Department in Biomarkers and Bioanalytical Platforms provides analytical support and expertise for biotherapeutic programs in clinical development. Our scientists develop and validate clinical assays to detect and characterize immune responses that might arise against biotherapeutics used in clinical studies. Assays are validated and include ligand binging and cell-based platforms, informing potential impacts on drug pharmacokinetics, safety and efficacy.
Job Description
We are looking for an intern to help us evaluate sample pre-treatments in an immune complex model. We develop methods to detect and characterize antibodies against our biotherapeutics using ligand binding with colorimetric and electrochemiluminescent readouts. In addition to these methods, the intern would also use biochemical and biophysical characterization methods such as surface plasma resonance (SPR) and biolayer interferometry (BLI) to measure the interactions between the drug and the antibodies. The successful applicant would learn these techniques and more as we study antibody/therapeutic interactions.
