Assist with customized project inquiry review. Determine feasibility of protein expressions, identify areas for optimization, and draft production proposals for project managers. Advise and review upstream expression workflows in mammalian and insect systems (HEK293, CHO, Sf9), ensuring reproducibility and scalability. Lead downstream purification strategies using modern chromatography platforms (affinity, IEX, SEC) and contribute to process optimization. Develop and interpret analytical assays, including ELISA, BLI, DSF, HPLC-SEC, and related QC methods, to assess protein quality, stability, and activity. Mentor and supervise associates and junior scientists, ensuring rigorous documentation, data integrity, and efficient lab execution. Collaborate across departments to align on construct design principles, process strategies, and project execution. Perform bench work when necessary to support critical experiments, troubleshooting, or method development. Requirements Ph.D. in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Biotechnology, or related field, with 5+ years of industrial experience in recombinant protein and antibody production. Proven expertise in amino acid sequence design and molecular construct development for recombinant proteins, including antibodies (full-length IgG, bispecific, Fab, sc Fv) and fusion proteins (Fc- and non-Fc). Experience with protein structural and sequence analysis software. Demonstrated ability to act as a sole technical contributor and project owner. Hands-on experience with mammalian and insect cell expression systems, as well as chromatography purification (e.g., Cytiva AKTA). Proficiency in protein characterization assays such as ELISA, BLI, DSF, HPLC-SEC, and SDS-PAGE. Strong record of SOP authorship and cross-team collaboration on technical standards. Excellent project management, organizational, and communication skills. Industrial CRO/CMO experience preferred. Flexibility to work occasional early/late shifts or weekends based on project needs.
