Protein Characterization Intern
4 weeks ago
AbCellera is breaking the barriers of conventional drug development to propel antibody-based medicines from target to clinic. We are a team of scientists, engineers, creatives, and business professionals who believe that advancing science enhances lives. We have developed technologies to unlock high-value drug targets, including antibody-drug conjugates and T-cell engagers for cancer, and complex transmembrane proteins for indications such as metabolic and endocrine conditions, pain, and autoimmunity.
We are looking for a motivated and talented individual who is currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry, Biophysics, or other relevant field to join our Lead Assessment Characterization team as a co-op or intern for an 8 month term, starting in May 2025. Your role will support efforts to accelerate the early identification of viscosity risk in antibodies.
While in this on-site position, based in beautiful Vancouver, you will receive guidance and supervision from experienced team members within the Lead Assessment Characterization team. The internship is designed to offer exposure to real-world projects and the opportunity to contribute to the advancement of antibody-based medicines from target to clinic within Canada.
How you might spend your days
Learning how to concentrate and formulate antibodies to evaluate their drug-like propertiesHelping to accelerate the application of an additional instrument to measure viscosity at high concentrationsExploring antibody properties indicative of increased viscosity risk (such as self-interaction and UF/DF flow rate)Learning how to leverage in silico analysis through machine learning to support viscosity risk assessmentsCollaborating with teammates to plan and execute experimentsActively contributing to assay development and troubleshooting to better understand the developability properties of potential therapeutic candidatesGrowing your technical skill set and learning new protein characterization techniquesWe'd love to hear from you if
You have some exposure to, or have an interest in learning, how to prepare and characterize protein samples using a range of instruments and techniques such as Ultrafiltration/Diafiltration (UF/DF), analytical chromatography (HPLC / UPLC), capillary electrophoresis (CE-SDS), light scattering (DLS), viscosity, or related techniquesYou think critically, are curious, and want to explore new technologies and opportunities to improve antibody characterization workflows and processesYou are currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry, Biophysics, Chemistry, Structural Biology, or a related fieldYou are a creative problem solver and fast learner who believes in teamwork to tackle the most challenging scientific problemsYou are self-motivated and have the initiative and drive to meet goals under tight project timelinesYou have excellent documentation, organizational, and communication skills with impeccable attention to detailWhat we offer
