Responsibilities
As a part of the Protein Analytics team, you will play a crucial role in discovering and developing novel biotherapeutics. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in the characterization of a variety of antibody formats within a biotherapeutics discovery setting, coupled with a proactive and can-do attitude. This is a hands-on, lab-based position.
Support the discovery and development of therapeutic molecules through hands-on laboratory work.
Characterize antibodies in high-throughput manner via biolayer interferometry (BLI) and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) based biosensor platforms to determine Yes/No binding, Kinetics and Affinity information.
Screen antibodies and other antibody-like molecules for off-target binding test via BVP ELISA or other poly-specificity/poly-reactivity assays.
Perform developability assessment on antibody panels using SPR, DLS, DSF, SEC and ELISA platforms.
