A post-doctoral research fellow position isavailable in the Late Stage Pharmaceutical Development group to investigate thetemperature and concentration dependence of protein interactions in solutionand cryogenic conditions. Many monoclonal antibody (MAb) products are developedas high concentration solutions, and have been observed to present a range ofissues (aggregation, precipitation, phase separation) on storage. Thetemperature dependence of intermolecular interactions between proteins andother solution components remains poorly understood, in particular in cyro-concentratedconditions. The objective of the post-doctoral research fellow will be to characterizethe temperature dependent interactions of antibodies in both liquid and frozen glassystates, using a variety of biophysical techniques and novel experimentalapproaches to gain understanding of the underlying molecular basis of theprotein and solvent interactions that result in a variety of bulk solutionbehaviors.
