What are the responsibilities and job description for the Scientist position at Myris Therapeutics?
Who We Are :
At BioHybrid Solutions, our goal is to make novel and powerful medicines to save lives.
Our core technology, called NanoArmor®, has spun out of Carnegie Mellon University. This technology allows for precision growth of polymers from proteins through biologically compatible Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization (ATRP).
Our lead program, a nanoarmored enzyme, is advancing toward IND. At the same time, we have launched the development of a pipeline of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) for Oncology.
Our ADCs are exciting. Compared to the state of the art where 8 small molecule payloads are attached to an antibody, we can design ultra-high DAR ADCs. This opens many new opportunities to explore novel antibodies and payloads and sets us apart from the crowd.
This is a great time to join an exciting and growing team and play a meaningful role in our goal to save lives. We look forward to meeting you!
