Allay’s pipeline is built on its foundational platform technology that combines validated non-opioid analgesics and biopolymers for a new category of ultra-sustained therapeutics. As part of the pipeline program, the team is developing an injectables formulation that can be used for various clinical indications, again targeting for successful transition into post-surgical rehabilitation, reducing the need for constant re-dosing, clinical oversight and avoiding the drawbacks of systemic analgesics such as opioids.

As part of the pipeline development, the ATX30X project is currently working on local anaesthetic injectables. We aim to achieve long-lasting, tunable pain management while keeping our solutions minimally invasive. With a range of different form factors such as liquids, gels and pastes in our toolbox, we continue to improve and create new prototypes every day to bring patients relief. As an intern under the programme, the incumbent will be assisting the R&D engineer/chemist in analytical test method development for the pipeline project and any analytical-related testing using various equipment such as High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Gas Permeation Chromatography (GPC), UV-VIS Spectrometer, and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM).

The following are examples of the expected job scope:

•    Testing and characterisation of various prototypes, including in vitro elution testing and force measurements

•    Prototyping processes such as formulation and manufacturing

•    Participate in weekly team meetings.

•    Troubleshooting and calibration of laboratory equipment

•    Conducting validation tests on laboratory equipment

•    Other adhoc tasks as required by the team
