Role OverviewWe are seeking a creative and resourceful student with a strong background in molecular biology and biochemistry to work with the scientists on our protein sciences team. They will be responsible for performing a range of techniques including cell culture, protein expression, purification, conjugation and analytics, cloning and plasmid preparation. This is a hands-on, laboratory position at a small and rapidly growing biotech start-up.
What You Will Do
Maintain mammalian cell culture lines, perform transient transfections and affinity-based protein purifications, execute assays such as BLI, SPR and other characterization methods, conduct molecular biology tasks such as PCR, plasmid purification, and sequence analysis, execute antibody conjugation experiments, support antibody discovery and bi-specific antibody engineering efforts, communicate results & maintain accurate records using an electronic lab notebook (ELN).
Why It Might Be a Fit
A candidate with a strong background in molecular biology and biochemistry, experience with protein expression and purification, antibody conjugation, and protein characterization with HPLC, and a genuine desire to make a difference in a fast-paced environment.
