For more than 130 years, diversity, equity inclusion (DEI) has been a part of our cultural fabric at Johnson Johnson and woven into how we do business every day. Rooted in Our Credo, the values of DEI fuel our pursuit to create a healthier, more equitable world. Our diverse workforce and culture of belonging accelerate innovation to solve the world’s most pressing healthcare challenges.
We know that the success of our business – and our ability to deliver meaningful solutions – depends on how well we understand and meet the diverse needs of the communities we serve. Which is why we foster a culture of inclusion and belonging where all perspectives, abilities and experiences are valued and our people can reach their potential.
At Johnson Johnson, we all belong.
The Senior Scientist will apply an understanding of protein chemistry and characterization to drive comparability studies in the context of the chemistry, manufacturing, and controls (CMC) requirements for biologics. Specifically, the candidate will coordinate all aspects of comparability studies resulting from drug substance and drug product process changes for new molecular entities in clinical development or for commercial products. The successful candidate will also develop, design, and perform mass spectrometry assays in support of product characterization and process development activities.
Primary responsibilities:
· Write protocols, reports, and coordinate testing across functional groups.
· Effectively communicate comparability plans and results to management review committees and representation on cross-functional project teams.
· Write analytical sections of regulatory submissions.
· Design and execute LC/MS assays for characterizing antibody and non-antibody products (mAb and non-mAb products).
· Maintain laboratory notebooks and prepare written protocols and reports in a Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) compliant manner.
