Senior/Research Associate

Key Responsibilities

• Execute biophysical assays to assess antibody molecular properties for stability, solubility, and aggregation profiles (e.g., DLS, DSF, HPLC-SEC, SEC-MALS, LC-MS, UV-vis, iCIEF, CE-SDS).
• Data Analysis & Reporting: Meticulously collect, analyze, and document experimental data in an electronic lab notebook (ELN). Present findings to cross-functional teams.
• Troubleshooting & Optimization: Independently troubleshoot assay performance and improve protocols for enhanced robustness and throughput.
• Collaboration: Work closely with Production, Conjugation, Development, Biology and leadership teams to advance molecules from screening to development and nomination.

Qualifications

• Education: BS or MS in (Bio)chemistry, Biophysics, Biotechnology, or related field.
• Experience: 3 to 8+ years of industry experience in a biologics drug development research environment. Specific experience and familiarity with upstream and downstream biologics workflows and analytics.
• Technical Skills: Hands-on experience with characterization of antibodies and antibody drug conjugates, including familiarity with upstream and downstream workflows, particularly purification and characterization. Understanding of antibody drug conjugate analytics.
• Skills: Communication. Strong understanding of antibody structure and function. Proven ability to troubleshoot and optimize analytical assays.
• Mindset: Proactive self-starter with the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative startup environment.
