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.

Qualifications

• Enrollment in an accredited College/Institution degree program

• Undergraduate students: Sophomore or above pursuing a degree in Chemical, Biological, or Biomolecular Engineering, Biochemistry, or another related science field.

• Graduate Students: Completion of a minimum of 1-2 years towards a PhD degree in Chemical, Biological, or Biomolecular Engineering, Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD), or another related science field.

• Availability to work full-time for the duration of the co-op period from Jan-Jun 2025

• Must be able to provide transportation to and from the worksite in Malvern or Spring House, PA.

• Previous co-op or internship experience is preferred.
