  Research and Development

ROLE SUMMARY

As a Scientist (non-PhD) on our ADC Biology team, you will be a key driver in advancing the next-generation ADC technologies through collaborative, cross-functional research that spans early discovery to pre-clinical development. You will develop assays and execute screening and identification of novel 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 novel therapeutic targets and MOAs of novel 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, immunofluorescent and live cell microscopy.
• Aid in execution and analysis of additional experiments as need arises within the ADC discovery research team
