Envision spending your summer working with energetic colleagues and inspirational leaders, all while gaining world-class experience in one of the most dynamic organizations in the pharmaceutical industry. This is a reality for AbbVie Interns.

The project represents the second phase of an overarching goal around bioanalytical method prediction. The first phase, carried out in 2023, consisted in developing a proof-of-concept centralized bioanalysis (BA) method database with automatic data pulling. The second phase, and object of this internship, consists in developing a machine learning model for prediction of appropriate methods on untested compounds.

Key responsibilities include:

• Develop a roadmap and implement a supervised machine learning workflow for explicit method prediction on untested small molecule compounds. The intern will craft the workflow with input from key stakeholders.
• Identify and integrate historical data into the non-regulated BA database for information that predates the use of RLIMS. If appropriate, the intern will integrate these historical data into the machine learning method prediction workflow.
• Develop ways to identify inconsistent, erroneous, or outlier data in the workflow. This will help to inform what information then needs to be captured at the study/activity level of method development for non-regulated BA to avoid these conflicts or preemptively identify problem compounds/studies.

Minimum Qualifications

• Currently enrolled in university, pursuing a Master’s or PhD in Bioinformatics, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Pharmacology, Computational Sciences, or other related field
• Python and SQL scripting ability
• Able to participate in an on-site internship at AbbVie’s Lake County, IL facility
• Must be enrolled in university during the internship period
• Expected graduation date between August 2024 - December 2025

Preferred Qualifications (Optional)

• Exposure to AI/ML related studies/work
• Exposure to LC-MS based technology
• Understanding of basic chemical structure and space
• Motivated candidates with good communication skills
• Ability to work independently with little supervision

Benefits and Amenities

• Competitive pay
• Relocation support for eligible students
