Talent Program - Regulated Bioanalytical Sciences - Intern

Job Description

The Future Talent Program features internships that last up to 12 weeks and will include one or more projects. These opportunities in our Research and Development Division can provide you with great development and a chance to see if we are the right company for your long-term goals. Our Company's Regulated Bioanalytical Sciences group supports development and interpretation of bioanalytical and immunogenicity assays for biologics and other therapeutic modalities.

The successful candidate will contribute to an innovative translational immunogenicity project focused on improving the mechanistic interpretation of non-human primate (NHP) anti-drug antibody (ADA) data. This internship provides an opportunity to work alongside scientists supporting preclinical and clinical development of antibody-based therapeutics while gaining exposure to regulated bioanalysis, assay strategy, experimental design, and data interpretation in a pharmaceutical research environment.

Preclinical immunogenicity assessments are an important part of biotherapeutic drug development, but interpretation can be challenging because immune responses observed in nonclinical species may not always translate directly to clinical immunogenicity risk. This internship project will evaluate an improved assay interpretation strategy for non-human primate (NHP) anti-drug antibody (ADA) data using available samples and established bioanalytical assay platforms. The goal is to better distinguish broadly assay‑reactive signals from responses that are more relevant to drug‑specific immunogenicity, thereby supporting more informative preclinical‑to‑clinical interpretation for antibody‑based therapeutics.

• Support evaluation of preclinical ADA assay data using established bioanalytical methods
• Analyze available NHP sample data and compare assay signal patterns across testing conditions
• Assist with data organization, quality checks, and interpretation of assay trends
• Explore approaches to improve the scientific interpretation of preclinical immunogenicity findings
• Summarize results in the context of translational immunogenicity risk assessment for biologics
• Prepare technical summaries and present project outcomes at the end‑of‑summer intern symposium
