Envision 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’s Co-Ops. This co-op is for work experience and is not intended to support a thesis.
The Product Development Science & Technology (PDS&T) organization within AbbVie Operations leads the optimization, validation, implementation, continuous improvement, and global technical support for therapeutic proteins. The PDS&T Co-Op program provides students with robust projects based on business need. Students will do meaningful work that has a real impact on our business and patients worldwide.
The mission of the Bioprocess Development & Launch (BDL) department within PDS&T is to design, deliver, and support the biologics manufacturing process for AbbVie’s pipeline and partnered products through clinical development and commercial life cycle with quality, speed, and manufacturing excellence. This is achieved through a focus on targeted product quality, CMC acceleration, people development, and efficient workflows.
The Cell Line Development (CLD) group within BDL generates and characterizes stable monoclonal cell lines using state-of-the-art manual and automated processes. Utilizing cutting-edge cell engineering techniques, molecular biology tools, and automation instrumentation, the CLD group engineers transgenic expression vectors, evaluates cell line performance, and carries out genetic characterization to assemble comprehensive data packages that enable selection of the best cell lines for manufacturing.
Key responsibilities include:
Performing cell culture activities, including culture maintenance, transfection, and FACS
Characterizing cell lines using a variety of molecular biology techniques, including ddPCR and sequencing analysis
Performing data acquisition and analysis
Assisting in experimental designs and data interpretation
Creating and maintain detailed, accurate, and clear documentation of experiments and activities
Communicating research progress, plans, and findings clearly and effectively through concise written materials and engaging oral presentations
Collaborating with colleagues in the Cell Line Development group and across multiple functional areas of the Bioprocess Development and Launch department
Maintaining a high level of productivity in the lab
Demonstrating scientific initiative and creative thinking to achieve project goals and contribute team performance in a climate of scientific rigor
Troubleshooting equipment issues and experimental challenges
Contributing to the smooth and effective operation of the Cell Line Development labs through the 5S program
Understanding and adhere to corporate standards regarding code of conduct, safety, appropriate handling of materials, and GxP compliance
