Bioinformatics Scientist – Antibody Discovery
A growing global veterinary pharmaceuticals organisation is looking for a Bioinformatics Scientist to support antibody discovery programmes for companion animals (dogs, cats, horses).
Working closely with senior R&D leadership, this role will focus on applying bioinformatics, sequencing data analysis and protein modelling to identify and optimize therapeutic antibody targets.
Key Responsibilities
- Analyse genomic, DNA-seq and RNA-seq datasets to support antibody discovery
- Apply bioinformatics and modelling approaches to evaluate and optimize antibody candidates
- Contribute to protein modelling and in-silico antibody engineering (e.g. liability remediation, biophysical optimization)
- Curate and integrate genomic datasets for companion animal species
- Collaborate closely with discovery biology and R&D teams
Key Requirements
- At least 1 year of experience working with therapeutic antibodies (essential)
- Experience analyzing next generation sequencing datasets (DNA / RNA-seq)
- Background in bioinformatics, computational biology or structural biology
- Familiarity with protein modelling / antibody engineering tools (e.g. MOLE, Rosetta or similar)
- Strong communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally with scientific teams
This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge biologics discovery in animal health, helping develop next-generation therapies for companion animals.
If interested, please reach out for a confidential discussion.
