Join a mission-driven BioDesign team in Cambridge dedicated to developing life-changing therapeutics for immunological, neurodegenerative, and muscular diseases. As a Senior Associate Scientist, you will play a pivotal role in the Protein Biochemistry group, utilizing advanced chromatography systems like AKTA and cutting-edge biophysical techniques-including bio-layer interferometry and SEC-MALS-to purify and characterize complex antibodies and protein fusions. This is an exceptional opportunity for a motivated researcher with a strong foundation in protein purification and biochemistry to work in a high-impact, cross-functional environment while gaining exposure to sophisticated plate- and cell-based assays. If you are a BS or MS-level scientist looking to apply your technical expertise to the forefront of drug discovery, this collaborative role offers the chance to contribute directly to the optimization of next-generation biologics.
