Scientist, Materials Discovery and Characterization - Vertex Pharmaceuticals Apply skills in pre-formulation characterization techniques (e.g. solubility, stability, permeability and pKa determination, crystallizations, salt screening, effects of pH, temperature, moisture and excipients on chemical and physical stability) to determine drug substance properties to support early discovery and development programs. This position will be responsible for conducting systematic and comprehensive pre-formulation studies, collecting data on compound physicochemical properties using analytical tools such as TGA, DSC, DVS, NMR, XRPD, LCMS and HPLC, to inform and steer directions of drug discovery and development programs, particularly the formulation design and development, and the design of storage stability studies...
