Phage Display Scientist at LabGenius
LabGenius is seeking a talented and driven Scientist – Phage Display to join its growing Antibody Discovery team. This role offers a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of phage display, molecular biology, automation, and data science, directly supporting therapeutic antibody discovery programs. As a Scientist at LabGenius, he/she will independently run phage-display discovery campaigns and contribute to generating high-quality antibody candidates for downstream characterisation and development.
With a mission to accelerate the development of next-generation therapeutic antibodies, LabGenius has pioneered EVA™. This is a smart, closed-loop robotic platform that can design, execute, and learn from its own experiments. By integrating machine learning, robotic automation, and synthetic biology, LabGenius is building a powerful discovery engine to evolve highly selective T-cell engagers and antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) for the treatment of solid tumours and transforming how medicines are discovered.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, plan, and execute phage display selections against recombinant proteins and target-expressing cells
- Support lead discovery campaigns with minimal supervision
- Apply a wide range of molecular biology techniques, including:
- PCR
- DNA purification
- Restriction digestion and ligation
- Golden Gate and Gibson assembly
- Maintain accurate and high-quality experimental records using ELN/LIMS systems, ensuring data integrity and traceability
- Analyse and interpret experimental data independently
- Present findings clearly in team and project meetings, including recommendations on next steps
- Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including:
- Functional assay development
- Automation and robotics
- Next-generation sequencing (NGS)
- Molecular biology
- Data science and machine learning
Qualifications Required
- A PhD, or a BSc/MSc with 1–3 years of relevant industry experience
- Hands-on experience with phage display or other display technologies
- Solid practical knowledge of molecular biology workflows
- Experience working with electronic lab notebooks (ELN) and LIMS platforms
- Comfort working in a multidisciplinary, fast-paced biotech environment
