Description of position

We are looking for a professional with a strong background in engineering of therapeutic proteins to join our growing Biologics team in Turku, Finland. In order to successfully drive forward our internal antibody drug discovery programs, your primary responsibilities will include design, characterization and optimization of new therapeutic proteins (mostly antibodies) in our laboratory. You will also, together with our team, integrate data from multiple sources (binding, epitope, sequence, and protein characterization) to generate a complete data package for antibody hit/lead/candidate selection. Much of the progress of developing biopharmaceuticals is done in the laboratory and you will therefore have a good opportunity to do a lot of hands-on laboratory work.

The successful candidate is also expected to contribute to the design and implementation of strategies to generate and select antibodies and should ideally have a good understanding of display technologies and immunization approaches.

The recently established Biologics team is part of our R&D organization and it is responsible for bringing forward our increasing biologics pipeline in the therapy areas Oncology, CNS and Rare diseases. Adding the possibility to modulate the target with either small or large molecules enables us to choose the right target and then use the best modalities to affect the target protein in order to create the best value for patients. To fulfill this exciting task the Biologics function is now strengthening its team by recruiting additional R&D experts with a track record of developing biopharmaceuticals. The function is recently established and you have a great opportunity to be part of developing our processes.
