  • Cell-based potency assay / bioassay and quantitative ELISA (qELISA).

He/She collaborates with scientific staffs to plan experimental work and executes protocols in support of biologics process development, formulation development, and stability studies. The individual independently generates, compiles, and evaluates data for technical reports to support regulatory filings for new and currently marketed biological products. The individual is also responsible for writing sections or subsections of technical reports, method and/or operational SOPs. He/She independently carries out multiple analytical methods to support AbbVie biologics projects depending on departmental needs.
