Regeneron Pharmaceuticals • Tarrytown, GA

1d • Onsite

About The Position

Regeneron Pharmaceutical's Analytical and Biological Mass Spectrometry Group (ABMS), located in Tarrytown, NY is seeking a highly motivated Sr. Scientist. In this role, you will work in an innovative mass spectrometry lab and develop LC-MS methods for characterizing biotherapeutic products to support all stages of drug development, from early-stage candidate selections to late-stage regulatory submissions. You will conduct and develop innovative technologies to support a diverse Regeneron's R&D pipeline. A Typical Day In This Role Looks Like: Lead and deliver on characterization activities to elucidate product quality attributes like post-translational modifications, sequence variants, charge variants, size variants, and host cell proteins. Provide technical support for cross-functional teams, including formulation development, upstream and downstream process development, manufacturing and help to tackle real-time development challenges in process development and manufacturing for OOS/OOT investigations. Proactively find opportunities to advance LC-MS analysis of biotherapeutics by developing technical innovations that will contribute to future developmental needs and/or efficiency gains. Perform sample preparation and LC-MS-based experiments independently based on SOPs and document experiments, results and findings in electronic laboratory notebook (ELN). Prepare and review regulatory submission documents like IND, comparability, and BLA reports, as well as manuscripts for publication in peer-reviewed journals. Serve as the team representative, provide analytical expertise to cross-functional teams, and present findings at internal and external meetings. This Role May Be For You If: You thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment and consistently deliver results with efficiency and ownership. You quickly learn new technologies, tackle complex problems, and have a passion for science. You are self-motivated and proactive, prioritizing effectively, and driving work forward with minimal supervision. To be considered for this role, you must have a BS (10+ years), MS (7+ years) or PhD degree (0-3+ years) in Analytical Chemistry, Biochemistry, Pharmaceutical Sciences, or a closely related field. Extensive experience with advanced mass spectrometers (Orbitrap, Q-TOF, Triple Quadrupole, etc.), liquid chromatography, and data processing software (Proteome Discoverer, Skyline, Protein Metrics, etc.) is desired. Knowledge and experience with extended characterization of monoclonal antibodies by mass spectrometry to support cell line and upstream/downstream development is a plus. Experience with automated liquid-handling systems (e.g., Bravo, KingFisher) and with experimental design and data analysis (e.g., design of experiments, molecular modeling, graphing, and statistical analysis software such as JMP) is a plus.
