Scientist/Sr. Scientist-Preclinical Antibody Drug Development

- Select and evaluate therapeutic targets with a strong understanding of MOA, druggability, and delivery options.

- Design experimental strategies to advance candidates from Biocytogen's RenBiologics Antibody Binder/Lead Library toward therapeutic development.

- Drive projects by assembling resources, managing timelines, and ensuring alignment with program objectives.

- Engineer antibodies to improve affinity, specificity, stability, and manufacturability.

- Optimize antibodies through advanced molecular designs, such as Fc engineering or bispecific formats.

- Evaluate lead antibodies for binding, function, and developability, ensuring readiness for preclinical development.

- Work with discovery, manufacturing, and BD licensing teams to advance and out-license antibody assets.

- Maintain clear documentation and present findings to internal and external stakeholders.

- PhD in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Immunology, or a related field with 2+ years of relevant experience, or MS with 5+ years of experience in antibody engineering and project management.

- Strong expertise in target biology research, including understanding MOA, druggability, and formulation requirements.

- Proven experience in antibody engineering and optimization, including affinity maturation and stability improvement.

- Demonstrated ability to independently drive projects, assemble resources, and meet critical milestones.

- Excellent collaboration and communication skills for working with cross-functional teams and presenting findings effectively.
