A Typical Day in the Role Might Look Like: Design, execute, and clearly communicate analytical characterization for biotherapeutics, including adeno-associated virus (AAV), monoclonal and bispecific antibodies, Fc-fusion proteins, and other modalities, to support drug development. Lead and execute characterization activities to evaluate and elucidate critical quality attributes such as charge variants, size variants, and post-translational modifications, with an emphasis on charge detection mass spectrometry (CDMS) and related native-MS approaches. Provide analytical support for cross-functional teams, including formulation development, upstream/downstream process development, and manufacturing to solve drug development challenges. Proactively advance LC-MS characterization of biotherapeutics by developing innovative techniques that address evolving developmental needs and improve operational efficiency. Independently conduct sample preparation and LC-MS analyses in compliance with SOPs, and document experimental procedures and results in electronic laboratory notebook (ELN). Author and review regulatory submission documents, including IND, comparability, and BLA reports, and contribute to manuscripts for peer-reviewed publications.
