Proclinical is seeking a Scientist/Senior Scientist, Cell Biology & HTS to join a stealth-mode biotechnology company pioneering the next generation of targeted protein degradation (TPD) therapeutics. This is an opportunity to design a novel class of fusion protein therapeutics that potently and selectively degrade historically undruggable targets not currently addressable by small molecule degraders in the immunology and oncology disease areas.

Job Responsibilities:

  • Coordinate with R&D team members to lead key elements of discovery and preclinical development programs for novel cancer therapies.
  • Independently design, optimize and execute various assay formats such as cell-based bioassays (DualGlo, CTGlo, HTRF, HiBiT, ELISA, CaspaseGlo, 3D cultures) in multiple plate formats.
  • Use a repertoire of protein biochemistry assays (WB, ICW, IP, IHC, pull-down) to clearly define the MOA of novel molecules.
  • Identify cell lines relevant to targets and indication of interest and develop cell-based assays
  • Design, create and validate screening cell lines models using CRISPR or lentiviral technology.
  • Experience with transfection, transduction and electroporation technics for primary cell lines or difficult cell line models
  • Use literature survey to solve specific research problems.
  • Learn and implement new experimental techniques that can answer critical scientific questions and advance programs.
  • Manage and direct external resources (CRO) and collaborators.
  • Actively contribute to a focused, team-oriented atmosphere providing assistance and/or guidance to colleagues when needed.
  • Identify and implement scientific and logistical solutions in a multidisciplinary environment.
  • Maintain high standards of laboratory safety.

Skills and Requirements:

  • PhD or MS/BS in Biology with a minimum of 2 years (PhD) or 5 years (MS/BS) industry/biotech experience
  • Ability to work independently and able to balance multiple tasks or projects.
  • Diligent with details and timely execution and delivery of high-quality results.
  • Strong background in basic research or translational research in oncology, including but not limited to high throughput screening, cell-based assays, molecular biology and protein biochemistry.
  • Familiarity with analysis of genomic and gene expression data sets.
  • Experience working with CROs and/or compound management organizations preferred.
  • Highly analytical mind, attention to detail, organization skills, and rigorous experimental record keeping using an ELN system are critical.
