The successful candidate is expected to perform routine LBA, develop innovative LBA for large molecule quantifications, and actively identify/develop new analytical technologies to meet potentially challenging needs of projects. The candidate should have experience on both non-GLP and GLP studies. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills are required, along with scientific thinking and problem-solving skills. Effectiveness in efficiently engaging other team members in support of team goals is also preferred.

Responsibilities:
• Develop and conduct LBA on large molecule biotherapeutics for non-clinical and possible clinical studies across Biogen’s pipelines.
• Support drug discovery by providing high quality bioanalytical support with a focus on large molecule quantification by LBA and other pertinent-platform technologies.
• Deliver and present the experimental results in a timely manner to cross-functional project teams and in DMPK department meetings.
• Provide scientific monitoring and guidance on outsourcing studies for the method transfer, development, troubleshooting, qualification, validation and report to support drug discovery and development.
• Write and review bioanalytical study protocols and reports that are suitable for inclusion in registration dossiers (IB, IND/IMPD, BLA).
• Build upon personal publication record and contribute to departmental internal and external influence.
