Job Description
LifeArc is a medical research charity with a 25-year legacy of helping scientists and organisations turn their research into treatments and diagnostics for patients.
We are pioneering new ways to turn great science into greater patient impact at LifeArc. We do this by bringing together a network of partners, to tackle specific diseases and by directly funding academic and early stage research.
Job Summary
Our Centre for Therapeutics Discovery (CTD) in Stevenage operates at the interface between academic research and the drug discovery industry. We take novel academic targets and generate lead stage small molecules and therapeutic antibodies for indications with unmet medical need.
The Biology Group supports both small molecule and antibody projects, working closely with our Chemistry and Biotherapeutics Groups. Within the Biology Group we are looking for a Scientist to join the Target Delivery Group, to provide support for our on-going drug discovery projects.
The role
In this lab-based Scientist role, you will work as part of a team of biologists to provide protein expression and purification support for projects and conduct screening and hit profiling activities using biophysical methods. This will involve working on programmes within one or more of our therapeutic areas (Neuroscience, Oncology and Infection). The successful candidate will be expected to collaborate with internal and external scientists to support target identification and hit-to-lead chemistry programmes, and will produce oral and written reports and electronic lab notebook write-up of experiments.
Who you are
You will be a graduate with relevant laboratory experience (gained either post-graduation or as part of an industrial placement year) or recently qualified PhD, with capability and knowledge in the areas of molecular biology, protein expression and purification. Experience in any relevant biophysical technique (SPR, MST, thermal shift, ITC, NMR) would be preferable. The candidate will demonstrate an interest in fragment screening and structural biology, and eagerness to learn new techniques and be good at problem solving with the confidence to work independently and efficiently.
