Abbott Bioresearch Center (ABC) is the local Massachusetts site of Abbott Laboratories, one of the world’s leading healthcare companies. Established in 1989, ABC is adjacent to the Worcester Biotechnology Park and the University of Massachusetts Medical Center in Worcester, Massachusetts, 35 miles west of Boston. The 450,000 SF facility is located on a 30-acre landscaped site and houses approximately 775 employees, divided between biopharmaceutical production and drug discovery research.

ABC’s production facility is segmented into separate cell culture suites and purification suites, supported by a common production infrastructure.

Together with rigorously developed quality systems (changeover, change control, etc.), this enables ABC to operate as a campaign based facility, with multiple products safely manufactured at the same time in different areas and at different times in the same area. Extensive and validated equipment covering the full range of biopharmaceutical unit operations combine with state-of-the art control systems to enable a broad range of biopharm processes. ABC manufactures both for Abbott and for other companies on a contract manufacturing basis.

In drug discovery research, ABC’s mission is to discover new small molecule and biologic therapies for immunological diseases. We are working toward the discovery of anti-inflammatory compounds that alter signal transduction in immune cells and antibodies that target autoimmune

mechanisms. In collaboration with scientists from Abbott discovery

centers we are also developing novel multi-functional Biologics as optimized therapeutic solutions for the treatment of cancer, pain and neurological disorders, Our research group includes highly trained scientists in the disciplines of molecular and cellular biology, pharmacology, medicinal chemistry and biotechnology.

ABC offers prospective employees a complete benefits package including generous paid vacation; matching 401(k) plan, pension plan, tuition reimbursement, medical, dental and life insurance benefits and health and dependent care reimbursement accounts. We are an equal opportunity employer.

ABC is the perfect place to bring your biopharmaceutical career or product.

Accent’s approach integrates novel target space with the most successful approach to therapeutic intervention in the history of medicine: small, synthetic molecules. We are focusing on inhibitory small molecule drugs (SMDs) for their:

Extreme flexibility in design due to limitless diversity of structure and associated characteristics
Ease of analysis, aiding feedback in the development process
Dosing simplicity (oral dosing is commonplace for small molecule drugs)
Ease and cost-efficiency of manufacturing

While to date there have been relatively few inhibitors of RMPs reported, analogs for related protein families have already been described. These include small molecule inhibitors with favorable pharmacological properties, consistent with acceptable safety profiles, good oral bioavailability and pharmacokinetic characteristics that allow for convenient dosing schedules. Accent is undertaking the systematic chemical biology and drug discovery efforts required to characterize and target compelling RNA modifications as new approaches to precision cancer therapeutics.

The Accent team is uniquely qualified to practice SMD discovery and development in the area of RMP inhibitors, building on a track record of success in delivering novel SMDs to the clinic. Among the executive team, scientific advisory board and board of directors, the Accent team has previously delivered more than 200 SMDs to the clinic and, collectively, have contributed to more than 40 approved drugs that are in clinical use today.

At Accent, we are combining cutting-edge approaches to target identification with a robust chemical biology platform and more traditional drug discovery approaches. This approach allows us to identify and prioritize the most critical RMP targets for specific human cancer indications and to swiftly match these targets with novel small molecule inhibitors that serve as powerful starting points for our drug optimization efforts. In partnership with trusted contract research organizations, we are building a model that encourages a diversity of approaches and can respond quickly to identified opportunities.

Acer, headquartered in Newton, MA, is a pharmaceutical company focused on the acquisition, development and commercialization of therapies for patients with serious rare and ultra-rare diseases with critical unmet medical need. Acer’s late-stage clinical pipeline includes two candidates for severe genetic disorders for which there are few or no FDA-approved treatments: EDSIVO™ (celiprolol) for vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (vEDS), and ACER-001 (a fully taste-masked, immediate release formulation of sodium phenylbutyrate) for urea cycle disorders (UCD) and Maple Syrup Urine Disease (MSUD). There are no FDA-approved drugs for vEDS and MSUD and limited options for UCD, which collectively impact more than 4,000 patients in the United States. Acer’s product candidates have clinical proof-of-concept and mechanistic differentiation, and Acer intends to seek approval for them in the U.S. by using the regulatory pathway established under section 505(b)(2) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or FFDCA, that allows an applicant to rely for approval at least in part on third-party data, which is expected to expedite the preparation, submission, and potential approval of a marketing application.
