Research Assistant - Peptide And Protein Therapeutics

We are looking for a highly motivated candidate willing to contribute to the research we pursue with our young and dynamic ChemSynBio team at IQS Barcelona!GroupAt ChemSynBio (www.chemsynbio.iqs.edu), we harness chemical and synthetic biology to create biotherapeutic and biomedical tools, especially to treat brain diseases and to understand brain transport.
We aim to conduct groundbreaking research and to grow together!ProjectIn our group we aim to generate highly selective and efficacious peptide and protein therapeutics by combining rational design, directed evolution, and bioinformatics.
In this position, you will assist different projects involving the development of biotherapeutics.
In the main project, you will contribute to developing peptide-based extracellular targeted protein degraders.
In this position, you will apply phage display, next generation sequencing and bioinformatics to guide the selection of new degraders.
You will participate in the production of the selected candidates using a peptide synthesizer and testing them in several rounds of optimization.
You will also contribute to the development of proteins with activity on demand using protein modelling and to the generation of bioconjugates with the ability to cross the blood-brain barrier.TasksContribution to research excellence at all stages: literature review, experimental design, experimentation, data analysis, and proposal of new research directions.Collaboration with other researchers and contribution to an inspiring atmosphere.Presentation of results and contribution to preparing reports and scientific publications.Engagement in laboratory management and team activities.
