  • Excellent critical thinking abilities plus exceptional verbal and written communication skills
  • Demonstrated ability to work independently and efficiently in a fast-paced R&D environment

Additional relevant skills and attributes include:

  • A strong background in the protein critical quality attributes
  • Deep knowledge of innate immunology and adaptive immunogenicity, including anti-drug antibodies (ADA) and dermal pathophysiology
  • Blood cell isolation, flow cytometry, Luminex profiling, ELISA, immunohistochemistry (IHC), confocal microscopy, and any other related common immunology tools/assays
  • Excellent attention to detail and demonstrated documentation experience

Our unique strength lies in transforming pioneering ideas into concrete, life-transforming solutions. To realize this ambitious vision, we are dedicated to nurturing an in-office work ethos. While remote work has its merits, it does not constitute a fundamental aspect of our working approach.
