This role offers the opportunity to make significant contributions to all Discovery Research Therapeutic Areas and Projects by providing analytical and functional characterization of our biopharmaceutical products, including monoclonal antibodies, multi-specifics and antibody-like biologics. The ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of high-throughput biologics screening and characterization methods (e.g., SPR, BLI, ELISA, FACS, etc.) and possess a solid foundation in protein sciences and antibody discovery with a proven ability to work effectively on cross-functional teams. This is an excellent opportunity for a highly motivated scientist to make a meaningful impact in a collaborative and innovative setting. Join us in bringing innovative medicines to patients!

Key Responsibilities

  • Independently develop and execute SPR (Biacore and Carterra platforms) assays to generate objective selection criteria for panels of antibodies, multispecifics, and antibody-like biologics.
  • Evaluate and integrate protein-protein interaction technologies (e.g., SPR, BLI, ELISA, etc.) to support therapeutic candidate selection, demonstrating strong problem-solving skills.
  • Implement high-throughput epitope binning for large panels of monoclonal antibodies and develop deep knowledge of antibody sequence/function relationships.
  • Perform antibody Fc characterization studies to support regulatory submissions.
  • Understand relevant scientific literature and apply the theoretical framework to solve problems within the scientific discipline in a timely manner.
  • Continuously seek to improve existing laboratory methods and processes.

  • Demonstrated ability to independently design, execute and interpret critical experiments to answer scientific questions.
  • Strong knowledge and hands-on experience with analytical/functional characterization of biologics using Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) platforms (e.g., Biacore T200 and 8K, Carterra LSA).
  • Broad technical knowledge of various analytical, biophysical, and structural methods, such as SEC, MS, HDX-MS, X-ray crystallography, DSF, DLS, etc.
  • Experience with biologics, monoclonal antibodies and/or protein therapeutics.
  • Excellent organizational skills with the capacity to manage multiple projects and tasks simultaneously within timelines.
  • Goal-oriented team player with excellent verbal and written communication skills and a strong can-do attitude and can operate effectively in a fast-paced, multi-disciplinary environment.
