R&D development areas encompass novel targets in neurologic disorders, gastroenterology, oncology, infectious disease, diabetes, hematology, metabolic disorders, immunologic disorders, pulmonary hypertension and reproductive medicine. Pharmaceutical and Material Sciences is a department is part of the Drug product development Development organization within the Chemical and Pharmaceutical Development & Supply (CPDS) department.
We are responsible for leading the strategy for several drug product development projects. You will be a key member of the ‘solid state selection and characterization’ group. The department is responsible for:
- Developability assessment of Discovery portfolio leads
- Definition of the drug product trajectory
- Solid form selection for the drug substance
- Particle Characterization
- Characterization of Drug Substance, Raw materials and Drug Product
Your Function:
In this exciting role as Solid-State specialist, you will provide input and perform experiments in view of solid state selection for a number of projects in our portfolio. You work out and execute an experimental plan to mitigate risks/gaps related to the selected solid-state form towards the formulation process. You make sure all needed documentation for filing/registration is available in a timely manner and is correct.
