Janssen Research & Development, L.L.C., a member of the Johnson & Johnson Family of Companies, is recruiting for a Summer 2021 Intern student for Biologics/Large Molecule Drug Product Development (DPD), to be based in Malvern, PA. The Summer Intern will support activities related to the large molecule (therapeutic proteins, vaccine, CAR-T, or gene therapy) formulation development, process development in support of fill-finish activities, and/or related pharmacy studies (pharmacy manual studies including drug product design, development of Investigational Product Preparation Instructions)
Responsibilities include but are not limited to:
- Leading the execution of experiments related to formulation or process development of large molecule therapeutics
- Contribute to onboarding and optimizing a new vial-filling machine for pre-clinical fill/finish use within LM DPD&D Global Process Development team, and to lead related process development studies.
- Work on process and formulation development towards clinical testing and commercialization of large molecules including mAbs & CAR-T therapies.
- Support the fill/finish team with recipe development, execution, and standardization of vial fills.
- Lead lab-scale investigation work to support manufacturing of J&J drug products.
- Lead lab-scale testing of a new primary container to support J&J's portfolio.
- Collecting, recording, interpreting, and presenting experimental data appropriately
- Identifying and presenting relevant literature to the project team
- Coordinating testing schedules, presenting results, and authoring reports
- Communicating progress to supervisors
At the culmination of the internship, the intern will have gained:
- Exposure to the pharmaceutical industry
- General knowledge of drug product development
- Understanding of the relationship between formulation components and manufacturing conditions on drug product quality.
- The candidate will receive hands-on experience in many aspects of formulation and process development for these types of therapies. A focus on innovation projects, such as computational fluid dynamics models of the process, will be incorporated.
