Bioanalytical Chemist
Location: NetherlandsABL is a contract research organisation supporting the international pharma-ceutical industry with bioanalytical methods for all phases of drug development ranging from pre-clinical research to large multi-centre clinical studies. Also, new drug candidates are screened for their suitability (drug discovery). All (bio)analytical work is performed in a laboratory with state-of-the-art equipment, operating according to strict GLP guidelines. Boundaries are constantly moved in the lower detection limits of small molecules (LC-MS/MS). Biomarkers, endogenous compounds and the ability of drugs to provoke an immune response (immunogenicity) are determined by (radio)immunological analytical methods. ABL is a knowledge driven organisation with an enthusiastic team of highly qualified personnel collaborating in a professional and informal atmosphere to satisfy customer needs.
