Research Scientist
to join BioInvent’s Preclinical Research Team
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 Scientist.
Key Responsibilities
As a Research Scientist, 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. The position as a research scientist will mainly be focused on the targeting of tumor associated myeloid cells.
Qualities such as a large amount of flexibility, problem solving ability, teamworking attitude and understanding of the various biological issues are important to meet the daily challenges and to enjoy and thrive in this position.
Your key responsibilities will primarily involve independently designing, planning, setting up and analyze in vitro/ex vivo assays to evaluate the characteristics and functional activity of immune cell targeting antibodies. Assays to study the effect of antibodies on receptor expressions, cytokine production, ADCC, apoptosis, phagocytosis, receptor internalization, cell proliferation and ligand binding are part of the daily tasks. To this end, methods such as eucaryotic cell culture, isolation of immune cells from mouse and human tissue, advanced multi-color flow cytometry and ELISA based methods are used.
Documentation, information, and communication, both internally and externally, is also part of your work. As we strive to continuously improve and optimize our processes, method development will also be included in the tasks.
Requirements
You have relevant academic education, preferably a PhD in immunology/oncology or equivalent. Experience in setting up cell-based in vitro assays and advanced multi-color flow cytometry is a requirement. Experience from working with antibody-drug conjugates, intracellular signaling, in vivo work and from the industry is additional advantages.
You are proficient in written and spoken English.
Skills and Capabilities
We are looking for an efficient, driven, and creative individual who at the same time is meticulous, structured, and responsible. We want you to have a strong desire to develop and learn new things, a positive attitude, a strong commitment and good communication and collaboration skills.
