Molecular Biologist - Richmond, United Kingdom - Touchlight
Description
Touchlight is focussed on the enzymatic synthesis of novel DNA formats. Through the Covid pandemic, this quiet revolution has been propelled into the spotlight with the scale-up and proof of concept of RNA and DNA based vaccines. In addition, the stellar growth in viral and non-viral cell and gene therapy discovery and development has accelerated the need for a better quality, faster and more robust DNA manufacturing technology.
Our CDMO and technology is built on the conviction that DNA is fundamental to the future of medicine.
By moving away from today's restrictive biological approaches, we have made DNA manufacturing simple. Our unique dbDNATM (or "doggybone" DNA) vector is optimised for use in advanced genetic medicines, being safer and more efficacious than conventional plasmid DNA. The platform, based on enzymatic technology, enables DNA production at unprecedented scale, speed and purity.
We are leveraging our platform to enable the next generation of Genetic Medicines. Our CDMO Focus is on:
Your Responsibilities
Touchlight is currently seeking an experienced Scientist to join its Molecular Biology Team to genetically engineer the DNA starting material for dbDNATM.
This is an exciting, fast-paced environment suited to initiative-taking individuals who can contribute to and successfully work in a multidisciplinary team. In addition to working at the forefront of DNA research in a dynamic biotech company, the successful candidate will receive a competitive salary, a performance related bonus, and be eligible to join the company pension scheme.
Your principal role will be to genetically engineer plasmid DNA starting material using creative and effective strategies that sits in line with clients' needs but also allowing the best attributes of the downstream process to be harnessed.
