Job Summary:-
Looking for an experienced Scientist to join our ADC Characterization team within the Protein Solutions and Bioanalytical department. This role offers a unique opportunity to contribute to the development of life-changing antibody-based cancer therapeutics. The ideal candidate will be a hands-on expert in LC-MS and protein analysis with a passion for scientific problem-solving and a drive to innovate. Youll lead method development for the analysis of intact antibodies antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) and other bioconjugates while also maintaining and enhancing our mass spectrometry infrastructure.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop optimize and implement LC-MS methods for intact protein and ADC characterization
- Perform in-depth peptide mapping to characterize proteins and bioconjugates
- Develop fit-for-purpose assays to quantify and characterize proteins in complex biological matrices (e.g. rodent plasma)
- Maintain and troubleshoot shared LC-MS instruments (Waters Thermo Sciex)
- Train and support scientists on instrument use method application and best practices
- Provide consultative scientific and technical guidance to non-MS users
- Analyze and interpret complex MS data; prepare comprehensive technical reports and presentations
- Stay current with scientific literature and apply innovative technologies and methodologies
