We are a fast-growing biotech start-up focusing on next-generation precision biologics, driven by science, collaboration, and curiosity. We are looking for a hands-on Research Associate in Target Biology to join our discovery team and advance our target and therapeutics discovery initiatives.
This is a lab-based role suited for someone who enjoys variety, ownership, and being deeply involved in day-to-day experimental work while actively contributing to scientific discussions.
As a Research Associate, you will be an integral part of our discovery and biotherapeutics efforts, with responsibilities spanning molecular biology, target biology and biological assays (training will be provided where necessary):
* Perform antibody-based assays, including reporter assays, binding assays, killing assays and PK assays
* Perform and optimise target biological assay workflows, including immunological assays using flow cytometry
* Perform and optimise cell-based assays, including maintaining cell lines and working with primary cells
* Support human tissue processing and spatial genomics profiling
* Maintain laboratory instruments and ensure smooth day-to-day lab operations
* Accurately document experiments, analyse data, and contribute to internal reports
* Establish and improve protocols
* Actively participate in scientific discussions, data reviews, and project meetings
* Collaborate closely with colleagues across the company
What we are looking for
* BSc, MSc, or equivalent experience in Immunology, Biotechnology, Molecular Biology, or a related field
* Practical experience with antibody assays and immunological assays
* Hands-on experience with cell line culture and primary cells
* Solid background in immunology and analytical techniques (e.g. flow cytometry, ELISA, cell killing assays, PK assays)
* Highly organised, detail-oriented, and comfortable in performing multiple tasks
* A proactive and flexible mindset
* Strong communication skills and enjoyment of working in a collaborative and social team environment
