米国 - カリフォルニア - フォスターシティ研究正社員仕事内容
We are seeking a highly motivated Scientist, Biology to support pharmacokinetic (PK) bioanalysis for large molecules and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) across discovery and early development programs. This hands-on, laboratory-based role will be responsible for developing, implementing, and executing high-throughput bioanalytical methods that generate high-quality, decision-enabling data for research and development teams.
The successful candidate will work closely with cross-functional partners and contribute to advancing biologics and ADC programs through innovative bioanalytical solutions. This role is ideal for a scientifically driven individual who thrives in a fast-paced environment, demonstrates strong ownership and leadership, and is excited to expand their impact beyond bioanalysis into broader drug discovery initiatives.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the development, optimization, validation, and implementation of high-throughput bioanalytical methods supporting preclinical pharmacokinetic studies for biologics and ADCs.
- Design, develop, and execute bioanalytical assays using ligand-binding, immunochemical, and mass spectrometry-based platforms, incorporating laboratory automation where appropriate.
- Analyze, interpret, and communicate bioanalytical and pharmacokinetic data using industry-standard software and analytical approaches.
- Operate, troubleshoot, and maintain analytical instrumentation, including LC-MS/MS systems and ligand-binding assay platforms.
- Prepare and present scientific reports, technical documentation, and study summaries to internal stakeholders.
- Partner effectively with cross-functional teams including Discovery Biology, DMPK, Bioanalytical Sciences, and Translational Research.
- Identify opportunities to improve workflows, enhance assay performance, and expand bioanalytical capabilities through innovative approaches and technologies.
- Contribute to broader discovery and development efforts by applying scientific expertise to complex biological questions.
Basic Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree and 6+ years of relevant experience, OR
- Master's degree and 4+ years of relevant experience, OR
- PhD or PharmD with relevant scientific training
Preferred Qualifications
- Degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences, Biochemistry, Biology, Chemistry, or a related scientific discipline.
- 2-5 years of hands-on industry experience in bioanalysis, pharmacokinetics, or related areas.
- Strong expertise in ligand-binding assays and bioanalytical methodologies for biologics and ADCs.
- Hands-on experience with immunoprecipitation, enzymatic digestion, LC-MS/MS, MSD platforms, and other ligand-binding assay technologies.
- Demonstrated experience processing biological samples and quantifying biologics, small molecules, ADCs, payloads, and metabolites, including biotransformation assessments.
- Proficiency in pharmacokinetic data analysis software, including Phoenix WinNonlin or comparable tools.
- Experience developing, standardizing, and implementing bioanalytical methods in a regulated research environment.
- Experience with laboratory automation and high-throughput screening platforms.
- Familiarity with in vitro assay development and screening technologies.
- Working knowledge of HTS workflows using 96-, 384-, and 1536-well assay formats.
- Excellent organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities independently while maintaining high-quality scientific output.
