Senior Scientist - Surface Plasmon Resonance; SPR and Characterization

Job Summary

The Senior Scientist will lead high‑throughput biophysical characterization of antibodies generated from discovery and affinity maturation campaigns, supporting the selection of high‑quality therapeutic leads through advanced biomolecular interaction analyses.

• Perform full biophysical characterization of antibodies from discovery and affinity maturation campaigns in a high‑throughput environment.
• Supervise, train, and mentor team members in the design and execution of biomolecular interaction analyses.
• Independently design, execute, and troubleshoot SPR‑ and BLI‑based assays including kinetics, affinity, blocking, competition, and epitope binning.
• Analyze, interpret, and present complex data sets to support antibody lead selection across multiple concurrent programs.
• Develop, optimize, and standardize novel assays to support custom antibody discovery workflows.
• Collaborate with Discovery and Bioinformatics teams to guide R&D efforts related to antibody develop ability.
