Allox Is Looking For A Highly Motivated And Adaptable Individual To Join Their Growing Team As A

.Research Associate / Molecular biology & Microbiology Technician Who We Are ALLOX is a spin-off of the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) and draws on the expertise and technology developed in the lab of Ben Lehner. The company was born out of the realisation that combining systematic mutagenesis, high-throughput phenotyping and biophysical modelling has the potential to revolutionise drug development but also transform biotechnology in general. Our immediate goal is to identify allosteric switches in all proteins and then leverage this unprecedented resource to rapidly develop novel medicines to treat human diseases. Our long-term vision is to become a leader in programmable biology, building the next generation of tools to predict, design and engineer new protein functions. We believe in a future where humanity will be able to harness the power of biology to solve our most pressing issues. We are expanding our interdisciplinary team with highly motivated individuals who are excited by this bold vision, share our sense of urgency, but are not willing to compromise on integrity. At ALLOX the success of our revolutionary scientific approach is as important to us as our mission to create a healthy, honest and respectful culture, both internally and with our partners.ALLOX is looking for a highly motivated and adaptable individual to join their growing team as a Research Associate. As a vital member of the experimental biology team, you will help validate therapeutically relevant targets on our DoubleDeepPCA technology so that these could be fed into our platform aimed at identifying novel allosteric sites. Specifically, you will conduct a variety of different molecular biology and microbiology techniques, including designing and performing molecular cloning, plasmid sequencing, bacteria/yeast handling, and phenotypic screening. The job involves regular communication and interaction with other members of the experimental and computational team, requiring an organised thinker, problem-solver, and proactive team player. This position offers the opportunity to work in a multidisciplinary team on cutting-edge technologies at the intersection of molecular biology, high-throughput genomics, and protein engineering.What You'll Do Experimentally validate new therapeutically relevant targets entering the ALLOX allostery platform.Provide support to the platform team in periods of high demand or for specific tasks (e.G., preparation of molecular biology materials).Participate in innovation-side projects for the optimization and throughput expansion of the target validation and allostery platform capabilities.Identify experimental risks or bottlenecks and proactively suggest improvements and/or solutions.Work diligently to meet scientific deliverables and milestones within agreed-upon quality and timelines
