Senior Research Associate, Assay Development and Screening
Vor 4 Tagen
Zenith Therapeutics is redefining drug discovery through a new approach to protein degradation. Our team has identified key ligases that govern the turnover of hard-to-drug transcription factors and convert these pairs into druggable protein-protein interfaces. With an initial focus on oncology and immune modulation, we are committed to advancing highly impactful precision medicines across multiple disease areas.
Headquartered in Basel, Switzerland, Zenith was created by Ridgeline Discovery, a Versant Ventures Discovery Engine, and is backed by leading investors in the biotech sector.
We are looking for a highly motivated Senior Research Associate to join Zenith's drug discovery and screening team. The successful candidate will have profound experience in small molecule screening using cell-based as well as biochemical assays. Experience in the field of induced proximity and targeted protein degradation technologies is a strong plus. Your role will be to develop and optimize a variety of key assays and execute screens with Zenith's library and screening setup.
You are a highly motivated and enthusiastic team player with proven organizational skills and a strong scientific background to impact our early target discovery pipeline and later stage lead optimization campaigns.
This Basel-based position offers a tremendous opportunity to support one of Versant Ventures' latest portfolio companies in an experienced, vibrant, and dynamic biotech team.
RESPONSIBILITIES
- Cellular and biochemical assay implementation for screening in close collaboration with the biology team.
- Optimize screening assays to identify hits for targeted drug discovery programs, focusing on validation for robustness, sensitivity, specificity, and reproducibility.
- Run the implemented screening assays at Zenith for both small-scale screens and regular compound profiling.
- Contribute to day-to-day operations enabling efficient execution and quality of screening results.
- Establish and troubleshoot novel screening technologies in close collaboration with the biology team, ensuring optimal performance of equipment and protocols, and support with integration of screening hardware as well as compound logistics.
- Be an integral part of the screening environment working closely with medicinal chemistry and biology experts to execute assays and generate screening results.
- Thorough analysis and documentation of experimental data utilizing dedicated software, databases, and lab journals, and presentation of results in internal meetings.
QUALIFICATIONS
- Laboratory apprenticeship or BS/MS in biotechnology, biochemistry, biology, or a related field with at least 3 years of hands-on experience in small molecule screening using cellular and biochemical assays in an industry setting or screening facility.
- Experience with high-capacity, cell-based and biochemical assays and familiarity with experimental design and implementation for screening and follow-up data evaluation, with strong attention to detail and excellent organizational and problem-solving skills.
- Experience with protein-protein interaction, induced proximity, and targeted protein degradation technologies in cells, such as nanoBRET, 2-hybrid systems, split protein technologies, HiBIT & Luciferase assays.
- Software Proficiency: Skilled with Microsoft Office (Word, PowerPoint, Excel) and GraphPad Prism, Spotfire, Genedata Screener or similar analysis tools; experience with compound databases and screening analysis software.
- Effective communicator and strong collaborator in diverse team settings, with excellent interpersonal skills.
- Proficiency in English, both spoken and written.
