ROLE SUMMARY As a Scientist (non‑PhD) on our Client Biology team, you will be a key driver in advancing next‑generation Client technologies through collaborative, cross‑functional research that spans from early discovery to pre‑clinical development. You will develop assays and execute screening and identification of Client chemotypes that function as payloads for antibody drug conjugates for cancer therapy. You will work collaboratively with chemistry and other cross‑functional teams to understand mechanism of action of identified payloads. You will analyze, interpret and communicate the data effectively to key stake holders.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Apply cellular, biochemical, immunological, and molecular biology laboratory techniques to preclinical research projects in the areas of Cancer signaling and Cancer biology

Investigate MOAs of our therapeutics through development, optimization, and execution of complex assays

Interact and collaborate with other functional groups across research

Provide leadership within technical area of expertise; may train, direct or mentor others

Design and execute key experiments to investigate Client therapeutic targets and MOAs of Client payloads to enable clear go/no‑go decisions.

Independently analyze data, document results, and present findings to large and small audiences

Maintain rigorous records of experimental progress using electronic laboratory notebooks

Present experimental results and scientific rationale to colleagues

Execute molecular, biochemcial and cell‑based methodologies including cytotoxicity assays, HiBit, HTRF, ELISA, western blotting, automated liquid handling multicolor flow cytometry, immunofluorescence and live cell microscopy.

Aid in execution and analysis of additional experiments as need arises within the Client discovery research team

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS

Bachelor's degree in Cellular or Molecular Biology, Immunology, Biochemistry or related field and 6+ years' relevant industry experience OR

M.S. degree in Cellular or Molecular Biology, Immunology, Biochemistry or related field with 4+ years' relevant industry experience

Experience with Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint) and analytical (Prism, FlowJo, etc.) software programs

Experience designing, performing and interpreting complex experiments that require significant insight into problems being addressed with some guidance

Working knowledge in specific areas of Cancer Biology and Cancer therapeutics esp, small molecule agents, Biologics and ADCs

Experience working independently and working on multiple projects

Experience collaborating across teams and a variety of disciplines to provide experimental expertise and support others on joint projects

Experience leading parts of projects or initiatives within area of expertise

Excellent written/oral communication skills with experience presenting/sharing details of the work with key stake holders

PREFERRED REQUIREMENTS

Experience in experimental cancer biology, biochemical and/or immunological techniques (e.g., Cell culture, cytotoxicity assays, HiBit, HTRF, ELISA, western blotting, automated liquid handling multicolor flow cytometry, immunofluorescent and live cell microscopy).

Background knowledge of the field of cell signaling and biochemistry

Experience developing complex cell and biochemical assays
