At BioInvent, we are world experts on antibodies and tumor immunology, and we strive for developing first or best-in-class immuno-modulatory antibodies to treat cancer; new drugs that have the potential to transform cancer treatment and the quality of life of cancer patients. At BioInvent we carry out all aspects of drug development, including preclinical research, manufacturing, and clinical development. Together we are creating an exciting future for patients, for our company employees and for our investors. We welcome you to be part of it – as a Research Engineer.
Key Responsibilities
As a Research Engineer, you will be part of our engaging Research department and the Preclinical team.
The team's main assignment is to characterize different target structures, and antibodies against them, and validate their importance for cancer development and progression.
Qualities such as good collaborative skills, problem solving ability and a large amount of flexibility, are important to meet the daily challenges and to enjoy and thrive in this position.
As a research engineer your main responsibility is to plan, perform, and analyze binding- and in vitro/ex vivo assays to evaluate the characteristics and functional activity of immune-cell targeting antibodies. Documentation and communication are also part of your work.
ELISA based methods, multi-color flow cytometry and handling of eucaryotic cells under sterile conditions will be included in your daily tasks. The work also includes isolation of immune cells from human and mouse tissue and set-up of ex vivo assays for the understanding of functional activity and further mode-of-action. Other relevant methods include multiplex techniques such as MSD and as we strive to continuously improve and optimize our processes, method development will also be included in the tasks.
