Culture and Values
We believe in the power of autonomy nurtured in a culture with the following values.
People first
We work to make things better for everyone : both on a societal level and a personal level. We will thrive, as a team, as a company and as a society by combining smartness with thoughtfulness across everything we do.
Rigour & agility
We move fast and innovate in our thinking, yet combine this agility with utter rigour and robustness. We are dedicated to delivering rock-solid solutions.
Interdisciplinarity
An ugly word for a beautiful idea. Our interdisciplinary approach goes deeper than our science. We believe that the best ideas and the most interesting conversations often come from synthesising diverse expertise and experiences.
Dignity & nurture
We fundamentally believe in the value of each individual and the worth of their contribution regardless of the outcome. We believe that we all thrive best in a nurturing environment, and everything in our power is committed to building this supportive culture.
Go where there's a need
We have the potential to transform lives. We will not let ourselves be sidetracked in this calling. We will not fail those whose future we can save.
How can you contribute
As the CSO, you will build and execute the strategy to develop a differentiated biologics pipeline and be the architect for this new phase of Antiverse. You will be responsible for target selection, antibody design, and development all the way to the IND. The ideal candidate is a strategic thinker who can marry AI with wet-lab technologies to innovate in target discovery, validation, biologic design, and efficacy and toxicity prediction.
Day-to-day activities
Each day can look very different at Antiverse, with new priorities coming in quickly. Below is a rough outline of the work you'll be involved in :
- Develop and execute a pipeline strategy from target selection (GPCRs and ion channels) to IND.
- Transition AI-designed hits (anything with a H-chain) into preclinical and IND-ready biologics.
- Leverage AI to rethink target validation, antibody optimisation, developability, and efficacy / tox prediction.
- Establish credibility with investors and pharma partners.
- Manage collaborations and external partnerships.
- Provide strategic leadership and scientific direction to internal teams.
Who you are
If you look at this list and think you could do this and are excited by the opportunity but not a perfect match, please get in touch anyway! We believe it's much easier to develop technical expertise than develop motivation & excitement, and we're willing to invest our time and expertise in the right individual with the right motivations.
