Biophysical Research Scientist

Fantastic opportunity to join a successful pharmaceutical company based nr. London, supporting the development of the company’s drug pipeline.

Working closely within a team of Scientists you will use the latest SPR technology to study small molecule-drug target interactions as part of the company’s drug discovery & screening process. There will also be the opportunity to gain hands on experience with automation/robotics to achieve a high throughput process.

Responsibilities:

• Running SPR-based fragment screens and characterising molecular binding and kinetics
  
  
• Supporting screening cascades with thermal shift assays and other orthogonal techniques
  
  
• Exploring how AI tools can enhance experimental workflows and data interpretation
  
  
• Collaborating across multidisciplinary teams to deliver impactful results
  
  Candidate profile:
  
  
• A passion for biophysics and drug discovery
  
  
• A solid understanding of Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) and other biophysical techniques
  
  
• An adapatable, team orientated approach and a willingness to learn
  
  This is an exciting opportunity to build your expertise within drug discovery and biophysical screening techniques including SPR, BLI, MST & ITC.
