Description
Job Description
Research Assistant (protein biochemistry)
We are growing our scientific team at ExpressionEdits, and now offering an opportunity to join us in a full-time role based at our laboratories in theBabraham Research Campusnear Cambridge.
Introducing us at ExpressionEdits:
At ExpressionEdits, we are changing how biotechnology is done in order to make therapeutics that nobody else can. We have gone back to the basic building block of the field, the transgene, which has remained essentially stagnant since the 1970s, and re-invented its design based on our proprietary method of intronization.
With this technology, we can turn the artificial transgenes of the past into sequences that incorporate both coding and non-coding DNA to express more effectively, while also looking more like a cell's natural genes. We believe this approach, guided by an artificial intelligence "Engine" for genetic design, will allow us to bring forth the full potential of genetic production.
We are a growing startup company within Cambridge's synthetic biology community which you can join as an early member of our diverse team that spans biology, engineering, data science, and medicine. With your help, we can bring our vision of 'building biology like nature' to life.
Who we are looking for:
We are seeking a motivated Research Assistant to join our team that produces and characterizes recombinant proteins. You will work closely with our scientists to express a variety of proteins in our mammalian cell expression system, then run standardized measurement assays that will inform both our technology-development work and our therapeutic-discovery work. Your skills will be integral to our research identifying and overcoming 'difficult-to-express' therapeutics.
Your responsibilities :
Your qualifications :
Essential
Desirable
It is an exciting time to join ExpressionEdits so if you are interested in this position, please send your CV and a brief cover letter to :
If you have any specific questions we can help with answering, you can also contact us through that same email address, which will then get you in touch with the right member of our team.
The closing date for applications is April 15th, 2024 . We will assess applications on a rolling basis, and so do not delay in applying.
