• Contribute to the development of traditional as well as AI/ML-based solutions to design novel antibody sequences using LLMs.
• Analyze output from wet lab assays (expression, binding data, developability assessment, etc.) and process large, high content datasets to produce data reports and automated analysis pipelines.
• Collaborate with internal members throughout all phases of R&D workflows, analyzing Bioinformatics requirements, addressing the requirements quickly, and providing technical support.
• Follow and establish software development best practices, including specification (gathering requirements), conceptualization, coding, testing, deployment, maintenance, and code versioning/management.
  
  

What youll bring to the team:

• Master or PhD in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, or related scientific discipline with a minimum of 0-1 years related experience (industry experience preferred).
• Strong foundational coding skills in Python.
• Demonstrated experience in antibody and/or other therapeutic proteins for discovery and engineering applications.
• Understanding of LLMs and/or neural network models for sequence design
• Demonstrated experience in analyzing biological datasets (e.g., NGS), visualizing the results (e.g., interactive plots), and utilizing common file formats (e.g., FASTA, FASTQ).
• Basic understanding of cloud computing, workflow management systems, and CI/CD pipelines.
• High interest in learning and contributing to developing web applications (e.g., Django, React) and utilizing database management systems (e.g., PostgreSQL).
