Discover your role:

• Perform comprehensive reagent characterization to evaluate identity, purity, stability, aggregation, binding properties, labeling efficiency, and overall fitness for intended use
• Support the preparation, purification, and conjugation of critical protein and biomolecule reagents for use in assay development and testing
• Conduct routine and advanced protein analytical testing using techniques such as SDS-PAGE, Western blot, CE-SDS, SEC, UV-Vis spectroscopy, ELISA, and other protein characterization methods
• Support stability characterization of critical reagents, including appropriate stability and freeze/thaw studies, and investigate factors affecting reagent stability and assay performance
• Contribute to the development and implementation of new analytical approaches and improved characterization strategies for critical reagents
• Troubleshoot reagent quality, analytical methods, and instrumentation, and contribute to scientific problem-solving
• Accurately document experimental procedures, analytical results, and conclusions in the electronic laboratory notebook according to established procedures and timelines
• Summarize experimental results in clear technical reports and presentations, and communicate findings at group and project meetings
• Maintain and support laboratory instrumentation used for protein purification and characterization
• Work collaboratively with cross-functional teams to coordinate reagent needs, priorities, and deliverables, and support project timelines
• Manage multiple reagent requests and characterization activities simultaneously while maintaining high standards for scientific quality and documentation

 

This role requires:

• BS/MS in Biochemistry, Biophysics, Engineering, or a related field, with BS and 8+ years or MS and 6+ years of relevant industry experience
• Strong hands-on experience in protein characterization, purification, and conjugation
