assay development

We are combining the best of human and machine intelligence to accelerate the discovery of advanced medicines.
At LabGenius, headquartered in London, our mission is to accelerate the discovery of next-generation therapeutic antibodies. To do this, we’re pioneering the development of a smart robotic platform that’s capable of designing, conducting and, critically, learning from its own experiments.
We believe this approach will radically improve the drug discovery process, making the generation of advanced antibody therapeutics faster.
LabGenius’ highly multidisciplinary team brings together the very best minds from the fields of data science, robotic automation, protein engineering, synthetic biology.
As a (Senior) Scientist, Immuno-Oncology at LabGenius, you will be a pivotal member of the wet lab team, leading by example from the bench. You will have (extensive) knowledge and practical experience in immuno-oncology/ T-cell biology from an industrial drug discovery background, encompassing from early stage discovery to pre-clinical validations. You will have subject matter expertise in platforms that include multi-colour flow cytometry to develop and execute (immune-) cell-based assays for cytotoxicity, cytokine release, immune-phenotyping and more with a demonstrable assay development background.
This position is a full time laboratory-based role.
Our Cell Biology & Assay Development team is responsible for delivering cell-based functional data to characterise and validate our ML-designed antibodies. Working closely with other functional teams, we develop both high- and low- throughput screening, mechanistic and translational assays to characterise, understand and validate our novel antibodies. We integrate automation into our assay pipelines to deliver ML-grade data to accelerate and advance our in-house drug discovery pipeline.
What you’ll do in this role As a member of the wet lab team you'll develop cell-based in vitro assays to characterise novel antibodies derived from our machine learning-based optimisation platform; across multiple projects this will range from early discovery to preclinical validation. You will be developing, optimising and running cancer and immune cell functional assays - both at high throughput screening and low throughput development/validation scale. You'll use your experience to help evaluate targets, design experiments and support project planning. You'll analyse data and give expert guidance, both to team members and other functions within the company. Your ability to distil complexity into concise communications will be put to use every day. Working closely with the automation engineers you will plan strategy for future automation, constantly thinking of new ways to develop and advance our capabilities. You'll share your knowledge throughout the company and help to train others. You'll create materials for communication of data to internal and external clients. What we’re looking for You’ll have a PhD, or BSc/MSc plus relevant industrial experience, with a strong relevant scientific background, extensive knowledge and practical experience in immuno-oncology/ T-cell biology. You'll have experience in cell and immuno-oncology based assays, including flow cytometric and plate-based methods for preclinical drug discovery & functional validation. Demonstrable hands-on experience using automation/liquid handling for high throughput screening would be an advantage. You will have extensive experience in the culture of both cancer and primary cells. Demonstrable hands-on experience in processing and characterisation of primary tissue samples would be a distinct advantage. You will be a subject matter expert on cell-based assays and how they can support drug discovery. You’ll have the ability to communicate clearly and effectively with specialists from your own and other fields ( e.g. Data Scientists, Protein Expression, Automation). You'll have a working knowledge of biologics drug discovery platforms, with experience of immune cell-engaging antibody drug developability a distinct advantage. In addition to the above, we are looking for people who will embrace, embody and enhance not only our company values - but also our mindsets which you can find detailed on our careers page: https://careers.labgeni.us /
