Envision spending your summer working with energetic colleagues and inspirational leaders, all while gaining world-class experience in one of the most dynamic organizations in the pharmaceutical industry. This is a reality for AbbVie Interns.
Product Development, Science and Technology (PDS&T) is the intersection of technical excellence and business impact. We are champions of product innovation and process knowledge to solve AbbVie's most complex technical challenges to successfully support late-phase products, commercialize our pipeline, ensure the quality and efficacy of our products, make a direct impact on patient health and well-being.
The Combination Products, Aesthetics, and Devices Intern will support the following key responsibilities:
Analyze a range of Filler products and assess key scientific characteristics, including similarities and differences across internal and external product lines.
Compare manufacturing processes of filler products such as HArmonyCa, Juv茅derm, Trepoelastin, and natural occurring amine (NOA) to optimize manufacturing efficiency.
Investigate polymeric gel cross-linking and degradation, product morphology, and polymer rheology related to gel manufacturing processes鈥攚ith and without biocompatible fillers.
Apply knowledge in hydrogel-based biomaterials, specifically hyaluronic acid (HA) and calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHAp) beads, to characterize products for aesthetic applications.
Support process development, material characterization, technical investigations, robustness improvements, and innovation in manufacturing.
Employ materials science and engineering principles to advance product development and assess polymeric materials.
Design and conduct experimental studies, analyze data, summarize results, and present findings to stakeholders.
Leverage expertise in filled bioinorganic particles and their impact on cross-linking and gel degradation mechanisms.
Characterize rheological properties including storage and loss modulus, and viscosity, using rheometer data analysis.
Assess and understand filler surface chemistry, pH, morphology, and interactions with polymeric matrices.
Demonstrate initiative and creativity throughout research and development projects.
Develop, execute, and document laboratory work, drawing conclusions and identifying deviations for continuous improvement.
