Discovery Biotherapeutics at Abb Vie is seeking a highly skilled, self‑motivated scientist to join a dynamic team supporting the design, engineering, and manufacturing of multispecifics. This position will have a significant impact by managing a group of scientists focused on design, production, and characterization of multispecific biopharmaceutical products. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience with biologics and multispecific production platforms, analytical characterization, and a proven track record of implementing multispecific engineering and production strategies to advance early- and late-stage discovery programs in ADCs and immuno‑oncology.
The ideal candidate should also have experience managing a small multispecific engineering team in a discovery setting. The successful applicant will be an enthusiastic, creative scientist who makes tangible contributions to continuous improvement and innovation within the organization.
- Design, engineer, and produce multispecific biologics to support Abb Vie’s Oncology therapeutic area; apply design and engineering experience with multispecific biologics for ADC and immuno‑oncology applications.
- Manage a group of scientists within the multispecific team, focusing on the design, production, characterization of multispecific biologics, and management of multispecific inventory.
- Serve as the biologics lead on multispecific biologics projects, coordinating activities and transitions from hit generation through candidate nomination.
- Serve as a multispecific engineering representative on cross‑functional teams; recognized as an expert in multispecific design and production.
- Identify and solve technical problems independently, conceive, and implement innovative processes in research ideas.
- Present original work internally across departments and at internal and external scientific conferences; may author or co‑author peer‑reviewed scientific papers or patents.
- PhD or MS degree in Biochemistry, Biochemical engineering or related disciplines (+ (PhD) or 12+ (MS) years of experience in multispecific engineering or antibody engineering)
- Experience with protein, biologics, fragments, or multispecifics (e.g., bispecifics, trispecifics, bispecific protein fusions) design, expression and purification
- In‑depth knowledge of the multispecific landscape, trends in design, and application across therapeutic areas including immunology, oncology, and neuroscience
- Ability to recognize emerging areas of interest in multispecific engineering, antibody engineering, and related fields, and make connections between research ideas to advance platforms and programs
- Excellent organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously
- Team player with the ability to operate in a fast‑paced multi‑disciplinary environment
- Goal‑oriented team player with excellent verbal and written communication skills and a strong can‑do attitude
- Experience with sequence analysis tools (Vector NTI, Geneious, Genedata)
- Experience with mass spectrometry analysis and software (Protein Metrics)
- Experience with CRO coordination for production
- Expert understanding of current state of protein expression, separation, and analytical technologies
- Extensive knowledge of biologic pipeline progression from exploratory through candidate nomination with program management experience preferred
- Experience managing direct reports and providing performance evaluations and…
