Your department
Within Roche Pharma Research & Early Development (pRED), the ADME chapter is responsible for the prediction of the effect of newly developed medicines on the human body. We are particularly interested in determining the key mechanisms of drug distribution and disposition in terms of absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME). One of our focus areas is determining which enzymes are principally responsible for the metabolism of drugs in development and how to mitigate the risk of potential drug-drug interactions. We thereby support the research and clinical development of new drugs and additionally work on the implementation of automation solutions to accelerate the LI and LO phases.
Job mission
As part of our team you will be working on the workflow and data automation of an established assay which is being developed on an automated pipetting robot.
Your impact
Working at the interface between Enzyme reaction phenotyping and Workflow Automation, you will help to digitize and automate an end-to-end workflow of a key assay
Specifically, your work will streamline and automate the process of estimating enzyme contributions to metabolic clearance
Your work will automate key steps of the workflow: Processing the request from our stakeholders, the execution of the assay on a robotic platform, analysis of results, data processing and visualization and uploading of the data in a FAIR manner
The digital infrastructure you will develop will lead to rapidly generated, reproducible and high quality data, which will fundamentally guide our drug development process
You will understand enzyme reaction phenotyping approaches, and the importance of the data for drug-drug interaction (DDI) risk assessment in drug discovery and development
Your profile
You have earned a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Cellular and Molecular Biology or a related field within the past 12 months, or you are currently enrolled in a Master's program in Cellular and Molecular Biology, or a similar discipline.
You have significant programming experience and are familiar with data processing/visualization softwares
You have experience working with Python and enjoy solving challenges systematically by using your analytical and technical skills
You are highly technical and are excited by cutting edge technologies in the lab
Ideally, you would like to get some experience with lab automation
You are passionate about collaborating in a cross-functional team in a multicultural environment
You have a good command of spoken and written English
Please note that this internship does not accommodate thesis writing.
Your location
The internship (100%) will be located in the Roche Pharma Research Center in Basel.
