Intern Process Development (Filling and Lyophilisation) 80-100% (m/f/d)

Today, Lonza is a global leader in life sciences operating across three continents. While we work in science, there’s no magic formula to how we do it. Our greatest scientific solution is talented people working together, devising ideas that help businesses to help people. In exchange, we let our people own their careers. Their ideas, big and small, genuinely improve the world. And that’s the kind of work we want to be part of.

Due to an increase of workload in our department, we are looking for an intern to support plan and perform pharmaceutical development studies for liquid and lyophilized parenteral drug products of biologics (e.g. monoclonal antibodies, novel formats, ADCs, peptides) under the responsibility of a Scientist.

Key responsibilities:

Complete in the laboratory and report small scale pharmaceutical process  development studies for parenteral (mixing hold time, VHP stress, filtration, filling behaviour and lyophilization) studies under the supervision of a senior scientist.

• Document data following applicable lab procedures, current documentation practices and aligning with data integrity standards, evaluate results and summarize in short reports
• Support implementation and execution of analytical tests for pharmaceutical development (e.g. HPLC and CE purity methods, content by UV, identity, color, clarity and opalescence, pH, osmolality, visible particles, subvisible particles).
• Support manufacturing non-GMP drug product samples for supportive stability studies and preclinical use (e.g. GLP tox studies) applying aseptic working techniques. Ensure compliance to health and safety standards.

Key requirements:

• Masters degree or equivalent experience
• Knowledge in the process steps of fill and finish for parenteral pharmaceutical products. Ideally experience in a process development lab for pharmaceuticals.
• A strong standout colleague with excellent collaboration skills
• Flexible, proactive, and eager to learn
• Languages: English required (proficiency, or at a minimum good working level in written and spoken language)

Every day, Lonza’s products and services have a positive impact on millions of people. For us, this is not only a great privilege, but also a great responsibility.

Any success we achieve is no success at all if not achieved ethically.

People come to Lonza for the challenge and creativity of solving complex problems and developing new ideas in life sciences. In return, we offer the satisfaction that comes with improving lives all around the world. The satisfaction that comes with making a meaningful difference.
