About Biomodal
Join the multiomic revolution! Over the last 20 years, genomic technologies have enabled significant discoveries that bring the promise of personalised medicine closer than ever before. But after two decades of research, it's clear that genetic variation only tells part of the story – biology is dynamic and more complex than A, C, T, G. Already, the added information from a multiomic view of biology is yielding important insights into cancer, ageing, and neurological disease, and is poised to revolutionise how we understand health and disease beyond canonical variation in DNA.
Biomodal is an omics-based life sciences technology and analytics company, delivering products that bring the dynamism of our ever-changing biology into focus. Our team is dedicated to developing the most advanced solutions to interrogate and understand the complex interplay of genomics and epigenomics.
We have launched our first products, the duet +modC and duet evoC solutions, with more in the pipeline, and are looking to grow and evolve our business accordingly. This is an incredible opportunity to step into an exciting, early-stage company at the cutting edge of science with exceptional growth and market impact potential.
Multiomics is the future – come and join the biomodal team!
The Team
The Protein Science team at biomodal focuses on developing, characterizing, and engineering key enzymes for our assay platform. Collaborating across the company, they ensure these enzymes are robust, specific, and scalable. Using established and innovative analytical methods, the team examines protein quality and function to deepen understanding and improve performance.
The Role
Within the Protein Sciences team, the Associate Scientist focuses on expression and purification of biomodal's core proteins, which underpin the duet platform. Utilizing molecular biology and cell culture techniques, the postholder will optimize methodologies for improved yield, purity, and functionality. Activities will also include optimization of methodologies and verification and certification of outputs. The core objective is to ensure biomodal produces high-quality proteins at sustainable yields, with a focus on continuous improvement.
This role emphasizes core production and purification activities, requiring a strong track record in high-throughput purification methods, ideally using the AKTA platform.
The Person
The ideal candidate will have:
* BSc/MSc or equivalent in molecular biology, biology, biochemistry, or related field
* Experience with high-throughput protein purification techniques (e.g., AKTA and plate-based systems)
* Confidence in basic laboratory methods such as cell culture, PCR, and DNA extraction
* Experience with protein expression systems (bacterial, yeast, or mammalian)
* Experience in protein purification
* A methodical approach to work, capable of following protocols and generating reproducible, high-quality data in a fast-paced environment
Desirable skills include:
* Industrial experience
* Biophysical protein characterization (e.g., SDS-PAGE, HPLC, DLS, DSF)
* Experience with quality management systems, including ISO 9001 and ISO 13485:2016
All applicants must be residents with the current right to work in the United Kingdom, valid for at least 12 months. We are unable to offer visa sponsorship for this role.
Benefits
* Annual bonus scheme
* 10% pension
* 25 days annual leave
