Clinical Research and Development
Role: Biopharmaceutics Scientist I within AbbVie's Molecular Profiling and Drug Delivery (MPDD) team, focusing on early- and late-stage development of small molecules and peptides. Responsibilities: design and execute experiments to characterize biopharmaceutic properties such as solubility, permeability, stability, and formulation performance; generate and analyze high-quality data; support molecule and formulation assessment by identifying risks and opportunities; improve experimental workflows; and communicate findings to cross-functional teams. Qualifications: bachelor's degree with roughly 5 years or master's with 2+ years in pharmaceutical sciences, chemistry, or related fields; strong understanding of biopharmaceutics principles, including drug absorption, solubility, permeability, and peptide aggregation; hands-on experience with in vitro assays, analytical techniques (chromatography, thermal analysis, microscopy, etc.); and ability to analyze and interpret data scientifically. Preferred: familiarity with preclinical/formulation development principles for small molecules and biologics. High-Value: work involves modalities like small molecules and complex chemically synthesized compounds, supporting development from candidate selection through clinical phases and regulatory submissions. Role requires effective collaboration within multidisciplinary teams; location and travel specifics are not specified.
