Process Research and Development Outstanding Student Awards – 2009/2010

The Process Research and Development (PR&D) organization functions as the bridge between Research and Manufacturing, taking processes from laboratory bench-scale to manufacturing-scale. The mission of PR&D is to design, develop, scale up and implement cost-effective production systems and technologies for therapeutic drug candidates to fulfill the demands of Genentech’s Research, Development, Commercial and Production Operations groups.

The Genentech PR&D Student Awards were founded to recognize outstanding students in disciplines related to chemical and biochemical engineering at selected schools. JHU, based on its faculty, research and outstanding students, has been selected to receive a student award of $2,500. The student award-winner will be offered a three-month summer intern position starting in June 2010 at Genentech’s South San Francisco or Oceanside locations in California in one of the following areas:

Genentech’s Process Research and Development (PR&D) organization has two opportunities for current students and upcoming graduates looking to gain work experience in the Biotechnology field at their South San Francisco and Oceanside, CA sites.  Genentech has hired several JHU alumni in the past so don’t pass up this opportunity.

Their first program is the Process R&D Rotational Program (PDRP) which begins August 2010.  This program places new graduates with strong scientific and leadership potential into four six-month rotations and then transitions them into specific positions within Process R&D at the end of the two-year program.  Click here for more information.

Their other program is the Co-op/Intern Program that lasts either 3 months (internship) or 6 months (co-op) and is open to exceptional current students as well as recent graduates.  Winter co-op begins in January and Summer co-op and intern positions begin in May/June 2010.  Click here for more information.

Dr. Osi Esue (JHU Alumnus) will be coming to JHU on 10/8, Thursday evening, 7:30 pm at Mason Hall Auditorium for an information session.  He will also speak to ChemBEs on Friday 10:00 am in Shaffer 303

Responsibilities:

The candidate will support the development and implementation of recombinant protein purification processes from laboratory to manufacturing scale. The work will include purification process development, optimization, characterization, and validation as well as technology development. The work includes projects carried out at laboratory, pilot plant, and industrial scale using separation unit operations including column chromatography, filtration, and centrifugation.
