The Analytical Development Synthetic Molecules Structural Characterization (ADSMUS-SC) team is responsible for providing an understanding of the structure of drug molecules and impurities, degradants and other components of interest that may be present during the preparation of drug substances and drug products. The team utilizes advanced analytical technologies (NMR, MS, HPLC, etc) to determine the molecular structure of these compounds to assist in process optimization, method development, and regulatory filing. The individual selected for this position will explore the use of miniaturized analytical instruments to assist in the characterization of a range of different types of molecules from the Takeda pipeline. These include miniaturized LC and MS instruments, benchtop NMR, as well as their full-size counterparts. The improvement to the environmental impact of these miniaturized instruments will also be assessed to gain an understanding of their impact on the company’s carbon footprint.
