• Strong knowledge of biologics, antibody fragments, and protein mimetics; ability to apply understanding of protein structure and function to design therapeutic modalities
• Proficiency in molecular biology techniques, sequence analysis, and protein engineering fundamentals
• Hands-on experience executing and developing mammalian cell culture and transfection workflows
• Competence in protein purification and in vitro analytical characterization techniques (e.g., SEC, MS, DSF)
• Experience with workflow and assay optimization using statistical analysis
• Experience with cell-free production and screening of therapeutic binders is a plus
• Strong ability to engage and collaborate with internal and external scientific leaders
