Senior Research Scientist, Biologics Development

Key Responsibilities: Lead and execute research projects focused on the development and optimization of therapeutic biologics. Apply principles of protein engineering and design to enhance antibody or protein therapeutic properties. Develop and perform advanced biophysical characterization assays (e.g., SPR, DLS, CD spectroscopy, thermal shift assays) to assess protein stability and function. Design and conduct formulation development studies to ensure product stability and shelf-life. Investigate and troubleshoot issues related to protein expression, purification, and downstream processing. Collaborate closely with discovery biology, CMC, and regulatory affairs teams. Analyze and interpret complex experimental data, and contribute to the preparation of technical reports and publications. Stay abreast of the latest scientific advancements and technologies in biologics development. Mentor and guide junior scientists and research associates. Contribute to the strategic planning and direction of the biologics development group.

Requirements: Ph.D. in Biochemistry, Biophysics, Chemical Engineering, Molecular Biology, or a related field. Minimum of 6 years of post-doctoral or industry experience in biologics development. Proven expertise in protein engineering, antibody engineering, or protein therapeutic development. Hands-on experience with a wide range of biophysical characterization techniques. Strong understanding of protein expression, purification, and formulation science. Experience with biologics development from discovery through to preclinical stages. Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills. Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to effectively present complex scientific information. Demonstrated ability to work independently and lead research projects in a remote setting. Experience with computational modeling and protein structure analysis is a plus. A collaborative spirit and a track record of successful teamwork.
