Thousand Oaks, Ca, Us

Supported development and characterization of late stage biotherapeutic products by advanced analytical methods (LC, LC-MS). Further responsible for the interpretation of results, writing of technical reports and documents required for the successful submission of regulatory packets.Additional responsibilities:• Support novel method development programs to identify new technologies capable of assessing the impact of critical quality attributes on higher order structure.• Support analytical liquid chromatography (SEC, CEX, RP) method development, and validation.

Silver Spring, Md, Us

Fellowship targeting the development, optimization, and characterization of novel mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography methods (MS, LC-MS) capable of assessing the higher order structure of biotherapeutics, notably monoclonal antibodies (mAb), subjected to established handling stress conditions. Additional responsibilities: • Core role in the identification, and preparation of justification packets to enable the purchase of new mass spectrometers and supporting hardware (LC’s, and automated sample handlers).• General instrument maintenance, and calibration.

Ann Arbor, Michigan, Us

Fellowship targeting the development and application of novel structure selective methods to screen, as well as characterize, libraries of rationally targeted small molecules to identify those capable of inhibiting the neurotoxic effects of protein misfolding diseases by Ion Mobility-Mass Spectrometry (IM-MS). Additional responsibilities: • Training of incoming graduate research students, supporting project development. • General instrument maintenance, and calibration.
