Associate Scientist III, CMC Process Development
Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals 4.6
Senior principal scientist job in Verona, WI
Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ARWR) is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company that develops medicines that treat intractable diseases by silencing the genes that cause them. Using a broad portfolio of RNA chemistries and efficient modes of delivery, Arrowhead therapies trigger the RNA interference mechanism to induce rapid, deep, and durable knockdown of target genes. RNA interference, or RNAi, is a mechanism present in living cells that inhibits the expression of a specific gene, thereby affecting the production of a specific protein. Arrowhead's RNAi-based therapeutics leverage this natural pathway of gene silencing.
Arrowhead is focused on developing innovative drugs for diseases with a genetic basis, typically characterized by the overproduction of one or more proteins that are involved with disease. The depth and versatility of our RNAi technologies enables us to potentially address conditions in virtually any therapeutic area and pursue disease targets that are not otherwise addressable by small molecules and biologics. Arrowhead is leading the field in bringing the promise of RNAi to address diseases outside of the liver, and our clinical pipeline includes disease targets in the liver and lung with a promising pipeline of preclinical candidates.
Arrowhead's corporate headquarters is in Pasadena, CA with research and development teams in Madison, WI & San Diego, CA, and a state of the art manufacturing facility in Verona, WI. Our employees are nimble, science-driven innovators who are collaborating to bring new therapies to patients in need.
The Position
The Associate Scientist III works in the Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls Group focusing on oligonucleotide synthesis development. This is an ideal position for an individual with an organic chemistry background who has an interest in projects related to novel technology in synthesis and purification of oligonucleotides and bioconjugates.
Responsibilities
Work independently or with seniorscientists to develop new synthetic approaches to desired compounds while keeping an eye toward large-scale synthesis
Perform solid-phase synthesis and purification of oligonucleotide drug candidates
Mentor others on internal protocols, practices and processes
Analyze small-molecule and macromolecular targets using standard methods
Recognize unusual circumstances, identify root cause(s) to problems, and begins providing recommendations to new approaches, techniques and/or practices
Maintain a well-documented laboratory notebook
Cerate an action plan with project deliverables with high-level guidance
Track progress against project timelines, generate regular status updates, and communicate progress and issues to management, including presentation of findings at team meetings
Independently coordinate delivery of materials both internally and externally
