Job Description
Req ID : 2724638
The Protein Production Group provides support for all NBE & NCE projects from early stage target validation through to those undergoing preclinical evaluation by generating recombinant protein reagents for immunization structural studies assays and compound screening. All reagents produced undergo biophysical analysis in order to enhance our understanding of their stability and solubility. You will be part of the Protein Production Group playing a key role in project success by generating high quality protein reagents in a timely manner. You will also assist with antibody discovery.
The successful candidate will have the opportunity to rapidly impact on a wide range of our NBE & NCE projects and to significantly contribute to the progression of these projects into the clinic and beyond.
Primary responsibilities
You will be responsible for expressing and purifying highquality recombinant protein reagents to support the novel worldleading antibody and NCE drug discovery platforms for a variety of exciting therapeutic projects.
You will have an excellent and proven track record of protein reagent delivery.
