• Utilizes SPR / Biacore / Octet and other methods to accurately characterize antibody-target and other protein-protein interaction affinities

• Develops and performs additional assays to identify and investigate novel large-molecule therapeutics.

• Independently run studies to precisely characterize and quantify antibody-target and other protein-protein interactions and affinities using SPR (Biacore), Octet, ELISA-based, and other relevant assays

• Supports efforts to gain structural and mechanistic insights on novel large molecule therapeutics by independently developing and running novel assays to investigate large molecule interactions, affinities, activities, stability, effects on cellular pathways and biomarkers, etc.

• Works collaboratively across a wide range of therapeutic discovery, characterization, selection, and optimization programs to support drug discovery efforts

• Provides detailed reports that can be used by teams for candidate selection and regulatory filings

Requirements:

• BS with 5 years, MS with 3 years or PhD with 0 years of experience in Biophysics, Biochemistry, or a related field

• Experience leading antibody:target and protein:protein binding and mechanistic studies is required (e.g. SPR (Biacore), Octet, ELISA).

• Experience developing, optimizing, and running protein-protein and cell-based binding and activity assays is desired

• Experience generating data / documents suitable for regulatory filings desired

• Demonstrated ability to work effectively and collaboratively with other scientists on cross-functional projects teams

• Experience working with multiple protein targets, both hands-on and coordinating with CROs and/or academic partners

• Excellent oral and written communication skills

• Motivated, scientifically driven individual with a creative approach to complex biochemical problem solving
