Sr Scientist I - Biopharmaceutics

Role: Senior Scientist I leading biopharmaceutics, drug delivery, and CMC developability assessments within AbbVie's MPDD organization, supporting discovery and early clinical peptide and small molecule programs. Responsibilities: oversee physicochemical and biophysical property profiling, optimize drug delivery systems (notably permeation enhancers for peptides), support GLP toxicology, and contribute to preclinical and clinical formulation development. Collaborate cross-functionally to improve molecule developability, advance candidates into clinical trials, and develop complex modalities like PROTACs and peptides. Requirements: Bachelors, Masters, or Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Sciences, Chemical or Biomedical Engineering, or Materials Science, with 1-10+ years in pharma/biotech, especially in biopharmaceutics, formulation, or drug delivery. Skilled in biorelevant dissolution, permeability assessments, physicochemical characterization techniques, and preclinical formulation strategies. Preferred: hands-on experience supporting GLP toxicology, working with chemically synthesized modalities, and cross-disciplinary collaboration. High-Value: focus on peptides and small molecules, from discovery through early clinical stages, with emphasis on developability, biopharmaceutics, and drug delivery innovation. WorkSetup: not specified; likely collaborative, matrixed environment.
