This individual will provide solid state characterization, with a strong focus on solid state NMR (ssNMR) spectroscopy, for drug substance and drug product process development for synthetics and biologics programs in support of SET’s key responsibilities which include:

•Utilize advanced solid-state characterization methods (e.g. ssNMR) to support drug substance and drug product process development for synthetics and biologics programs.

•Drive lead optimization and form selection to meet discovery research and process development requirements (Target Product Profile).

•Perform synthetics molecule assessment (developability assessment) and preclinical formulation support.

•Perform biopharmaceutical assessments utilizing predictive in silico and in vitro models to identify development strategies.

•Provide early clinical support for synthetics liquid dosage forms (e.g. drug-in-bottle, parenteral) and technical transfers to support clinical manufacturing (GMP).

This individual will carry out solid-state analysis and physicochemical characterization to aid solid form and formulation development of drug substances and drug products. The primary responsibilities will include developing, implementing, and applying advanced ssNMR techniques to characterize the structures and interactions of small and large drug molecules.
