****** Your Role:
Senior Research Scientist, Protein Expression & Purification Team Lead
**** As a Senior Research Scientist and Protein Expression & Purification Team Lead in our Transitional and Early Development group, you will play a central leadership role in discovering, generating, and optimizing the next generation of recombinant protein biotherapeutics, including monoclonal antibodies, fusion proteins, and novel vaccine antigens for animal health. In this hybrid laboratory-based and team leadership role, you will direct and expand a team of scientists responsible for the end-to-end protein generation workflow-from DNA construct design through downstream purification and lot-release testing-to enable critical pre-clinical animal studies.
**** Your Responsibilities:****
* ** Team Leadership & People Management:
** Lead, mentor, and develop a team of laboratory scientists focused on the end-to-end protein generation workflow, establishing workload priorities and resource allocation.
* ** Portfolio & Project Leadership:
** Serve as the protein sciences subject matter expert (SME) across multiple concurrent biotherapeutic and vaccine discovery projects, providing technical leadership, timelines, and risk mitigation strategies.
* ** Workflow Design & Execution:
** Direct the end-to-end protein generation workflow, from expression plasmid design and transient expression in mammalian systems (HEK
293, CHO) to multi-step purification strategies utilizing KTA systems and UNICORN software.
* ** Analytical Characterization & Material Release:
** Oversee a suite of in-process and lot-release analytics (e.g., CE-SDS, HPLC, BLI/Octet, endotoxin) to ensure the delivery of high-purity, low-bioburden protein lots for pre-clinical studies.
