Bioanalytical Chemistry Intern

Kalamazoo - Downtown Portage Street

Role Description:

Title: DEVELOPMENT OF HILIC-MALS METHOD AFTER PARTIAL DIGESTION OF MAB.

Location: Kalamazoo, MI

Summary: The primary objective of this role is to develop a HILIC-MALS method to identify and label fragments of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) following partial reduction and digestion. This method development aims to provide a valuable orthogonal approach to the reduced capillary gel electrophoresis (CGE) of mAbs, enhancing the analytical capabilities in biopharmaceutical research.

Internship responsibilities:

• Contribute to method development through separation technologies including chromatography and capillary electrophoresis (e.g., RP-HPLC, HILIC, SEC, icIEF, CE-SDS) for the analysis of complex proteins.
• Sample and buffer preparation, setting up and maintaining instruments.
• Experience in experimental design, technical problem solving and continuous improvement.
• Experience with light scattering techniques is a plus.

Internship qualifications:

• Qualifications: Undergrad student in Chemistry, Biochemistry, or other related discipline.
• Solid understanding of protein structure, post-translational modifications, and aggregations.
• The ideal candidate will have a robust background in proteins/peptides characterization, demonstrating a high level of motivation to advance innovative method development for mAbs.
