Additional Information
AbbVie's Immunology Discovery Research group is seeking a highly motivated and experienced in vivo and in vitro cellular immunologist to lead development of pharmacodynamic endpoints in non-human primate (NHP) preclinical pharmacology studies. This position offers an opportunity to test and preclinically validate mechanistic and translationally relevant endpoints to support experimental medicine studies as well as gain an understanding of drug MOAs. You will be exposed to AbbVie's diverse immunology pipeline, and you will have the ability to influence the development strategy of high value programs.
The candidate will work within an existing, highly matrixed and collaborative team to deliver rigorous and detailed data packages from in vivo pharmacology studies in non-human primates, including ex vivo endpoints. As a Senior II Scientist you will directly conduct benchwork, design in vivo studies, expand upon existing partnerships, and serve as a subject matter expert for non-human primate immunology studies across the R&D organization. You will ultimately be responsible for both identifying innovative, yet feasible opportunities to impact the Immunology portfolio using NHP models and developing a highly functioning team focused on NHP pharmacology.
