What You’ll Work On

  • Design and optimize novel antibody and bispecific formats that power our next-generation immunotherapies
  • Lead antibody engineering from idea to construct to bench — including expression, purification, and characterization
  • Improve key attributes like affinity, stability, specificity, and PK using modern tools and data

  • Deep experience with bispecific or multispecific formats and familiarity with T cell engagers
  • Working knowledge of structure–activity relationships and/or molecular modeling is a plus
  • Experience with mammalian expression systems (e.g., CHO/HEK), cell-based assays, or phage/yeast display is valuable
  • Strong communication, data interpretation, and cross-functional collaboration skills
Why You’ll Love Working Here
