  Job Type: Full-time
  Pay: $70,000 - $80,000 per year

Nanobody Development

• Design and execute experimental workflows for the discovery, expression, and screening of nanobodies.
• Develop and optimize nanobodies selection strategies (e.g., phage display, yeast display).
• Characterize binding affinity, specificity, and stability using techniques such as ELISA, SPR, BLI, and flow cytometry.

Project Management & Collaboration

• Lead R&D projects from concept to prototype, collaborating closely with team members in manufacturing, QC, and regulatory.
• Serve as the subject matter expert on nanobodies in cross-functional discussions and product planning.

Documentation & Reporting

• Maintain detailed, reproducible records of research activities and results.
• Prepare scientific reports, product documentation, and data presentations for internal and external stakeholders.

Technology Translation

• Assist in integrating nanobodies into Filtrous’ product pipeline, including conjugation and assay development.
• Evaluate new technologies, vendors, and reagents to enhance platform capabilities.
