Our Research & Development Division is dedicated to advance breakthrough science focused on patient needs. The Continuous & Expression Technologies (CET) group, within the Process Research & Development department, is seeking a co-op with a passion for scientific research and work collaboratively across teams. We offer opportunities in our state-of-the-art laboratories to solve fundamental biological and engineering challenges relevant to drug development and manufacturing, while functioning as fully integrated members of the company project teams.

The Continuous & Expression Technologies (CET) group is responsible for driving drug manufacture innovation across our company's diverse pipeline. CET is seeking a co-op in Large Molecule Continuous Manufacturing Technologies (LM CMT) in upstream processing. LM CMT is responsible for improving process intensification with both mammalian perfusion cell culture and downstream integrated continuous manufacturing.

The co-op will be exposed to fundamentals of process intensification and continuous processing of biologics, building expertise in the Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) perfusion cell culture, including developing a perfusion scale-down model based on hydrodynamic stress.

NOTE: If a candidate is selected for an interview, the candidate should be prepared to submit letters of recommendation and a brief research statement and a copy of transcripts.

Co-ops will be responsible for accurate electronic notebook recording of experimental details and for analysis and interpretation of data that may be used for internal or external scientific publications which may follow from the co-op experience. Co-ops will have the opportunity to gain further knowledge, and skill sets via refinement of laboratory skills, introduction to new experimental techniques, exposure to current challenges in research, and perspectives on the practical aspects of drug development. In addition, the co-op student will have an opportunity to present their research results in both oral and written formats.
