We are seeking a Biopharmaceutics In Vitro/In Silico Scientistbased in Beerse, Belgium.

Purpose:

Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicinedevelopsinnovative, effective treatments across four therapeutic areas with high unmet medical need: oncology, immunology, neuroscience, and cardiopulmonary diseases. The Janssen campus in Beerse, near Antwerp, Belgium, offers a unique ecosystem spanning the full drug development life cycle, with capabilities ranging from basic science to market access on a single campus.

The biopharmaceutics group is part of Pharmaceutical & Material Sciences in Pharmaceutical Product Development &Supply, andcooperates closely with the High Throughput andPreformulationSciences (HTPS) group to perform all in vitro work. Both groups support the drug product design process for synthetic molecules(includingoralpeptides)by characterizing andoptimizingthe relationship between active ingredient properties, drug product performance, and in vivo behavior

You willbe responsible for

• The design and executionofin vitro experiments, including standard and customized solubility, precipitation, and dissolution testing, to support biopharmaceutical profiling for development projects in the synthetic molecule portfolio, with a focus on oral peptides.

• Applyingin silico absorption modeling, such asphysiology basedbiopharmaceutics and/or pharmacokinetic modeling, to characterize the interface between drug product performance and physiological conditions,and to predict absorption and permeation(incloral peptides)

• Workingat the interface between Biopharmaceutics and High ThroughputPreformulationSciences, and integrateallin vitro and in silico datatoassess, predictand improvethe absorptionof oral synthetic molecules including peptides

• Collaboratingproactively with external partners, including academic institutions and private research organizations, to stay current with emerging scientific, industrial, and regulatory developments in biopharmaceutics across in vitro and in silico approaches.

• Todrive innovation ofintegratedin vitroin silicoworkflows toacceleratebiopharmaceutical understandingand rational formulation design/selection Buildingstrong partnerships with key stakeholders, including Discovery Sciences, Preclinical DMPK, Non-Clinical Safety, Clinical Pharmacology, Regulatory Affairs, API Development, Drug Product Development, and Analytical Development.

QualificationsRequirements

• Masters or Doctoral degree (Ph.D.) in Pharmaceutical Sciences, Chemistry, Biology, Engineering, or a related scientific field, withpreferablymore than two years of relevant industrial experience in biopharmaceuticsincludingpreformulationaspectsand computational modeling, preferably in drug absorption and disposition.

• Knowledge of some of the following areas is preferred:physico-chemicalcharacterisation, drug absorption and disposition, formulation development and design for oral peptides, and pharmacokinetics.

• Proven ability to contribute as an independent scientific specialist, with excellent interpersonal, communication, and collaboration skills, anda strong senseof personal accountability.
