Since 1980, we’ve helped pioneer the world of biotech in our fight against the world’s toughest diseases. With our focus on four therapeutic areas –Oncology, Inflammation, General Medicine, and Rare Disease– we reach millions of patients each year. Amgen is advancing a broad and deep pipeline of medicines to treat cancer, heart disease, inflammatory conditions, rare diseases, and obesity and obesity-related conditions. As a member of the Amgen team, you’ll help make a lasting impact on the lives of patients as we research, manufacture, and deliver innovative medicines to help people live longer, fuller happier lives.

Our award-winning culture is collaborative, innovative, and science based. If you have a passion for challenges and the opportunities that lay within them, you’ll thrive as part of the Amgen team. Join us and transform the lives of patients while transforming your career.

Let’s do this. Let's change the world. During this program, you will support research that advances human-relevant in vitro assays for drug safety testing. Drug safety testing helps identify potential safety concerns early and informs decisions during medicine development. Many established assays use 2D cell cultures, which may not fully capture human biology; more human-relevant models may help make safety assessments more informative.

• →Perform laboratory studies using human cell culture models.
• →Assist with experiments that assess cellular responses relevant to drug safety.
• →Record, organize, and analyze experimental data.
• →Compare findings across assay conditions and cell types to evaluate assay performance.
• →Present results and observations to the research team.
