Job Description and Title: Experiential Summer Intern, in vivo Technologies Group

Summary

The Biologics Generation Group at AbbVie is looking to host a Summer Intern (SI) for a minimum of 3+ months with an interest in antibody discovery and to assist in digitalizing historical hybridoma assets. S/he will participate in ongoing efforts to consolidate historical hybridoma assets and ensure accuracy of the hybridoma/cell line inventory as we transition from the Global Biologics Inventory System (GBIS) to FreezerPro (or another suitable inventory system). These efforts will significantly contribute towards the goal of digitalizing all historical hybridoma assets, thus reducing anticipated costs for storage of future hybridoma materials. The SI may also support the development of BRS dashboards to enable Hybridoma campaign timelines tracking and request progression. S/he will learn about target biology, in vivo antibody discovery and how to assess final data packages which includes project background, the hybridoma workflow stages, and recombinant data. SI support in these efforts will significantly alleviate the current workload of the In Vivo Antibody Discovery team.
