About Team: Antibody team
The antibody team is involved in engineering and development of antibodies, with a deep focus on reagent quality and specificity. The core activities of team include design, development, purification, conjugation and testing of antibodies in a variety of immunoassay applications using pioneering tools and technologies. The goal of the program is advanced product development and creation of product specific information to promote research use.
Role & Responsibilities
Role:
To be an integral part of an antibody development team with a focus on performance and specificity using innovative molecular, protein, and cell biology methods.
Responsibilities:
- Meticulous experimental planning and execution to meet program goals.
- Timely record keeping of results into data sheets and laboratory note-books.
- Regular mining of literature and keeping oneself up to date with developments in field of antibody development.
- Compilation and presentation of data in written and oral formats. Active participation in team meetings.
- Attention to detail and adherence to schedules.
Candidate Requirement:
Education & Experience levels:
Applicants should have Masters with 0-3 years confirmed experience or a fresh PhD (submitted within last one year) in a life sciences field with a strong focus on protein design, protein purification, molecular biology, immunology, biotechnology or biochemistry.
Nature of experience:
- Extensive experience in immunoassays such as Western blotting, Immunofluorescence, Immunohistochemistry, Flow cytometry or ELISA
- Experience with proteins, which could include but not limited to structure function or mutational analysis of proteins, and molecular biology expertise in handling nucleic acid extraction, PCR, and cloning. Familiarity with software for molecular biology such as Snapgene, CLC Workbench, or Geneious. Experience in single cell molecular biology or next generation sequencing will be considered a plus
- Experience and knowledge in protein purification and analysis technologies such as affinity or ion exchange chromatography, SEC, HPLC, and SDS-PAGE. Experience with protein affinity measurement desirable.
- Experience in cell culture, aseptic techniques, maintenance of cell lines and primary cells. Experience in advanced cell culture techniques such as stem cell technologies, differentiation or spheroid culture will be considered a plus
- Theoretical or practical experience in antibody development platforms is desirable
- Project or work experience in support of relevant skills such as publications, project reports or thesis work
- Proficient in MS Office applications such as Word, Powerpoint, Excel and possess a strong statistical knowledge and familiarity with statistical software such as Prism
The successful candidate will be self-motivated and a self-starter who is excellent at learning and applying new concepts for process or product improvements, possess excellent oral and written communication skills to connect to peers and leadership, and will be an excellent teammate with the ability to work with different colleagues.
