Job Description

Join Our Innovative Biotech Startup - Athebio

Founded in late 2019, Athebio is a highly innovative biotech startup on a mission to revolutionize the field of biotherapeutics. We specialize in developing advanced biotherapeutics with pharma partners based on Designed Ankyrin Repeat Proteins (DARPins) and enable the design and creation of a variety of modalities including radiotherapeutics, ADCs, AAV, LNP, and T cell engagers.

We explore and unlock the full therapeutic potential of repeat proteins and make it broadly available, with a commitment to scientific excellence, innovation, and teamwork. Our mission is to support innovative drug developers to create next-generation biologics by providing tailor-made repeat proteins and supporting them with in-depth expertise and superb service.

Passion for Lab Work: We’re seeking an individual who loves to do experimental work and is excited about joining our team to create ground-breaking solutions for patients in need.

Industry Mindset: If you have hands-on experience in protein science and molecular biology techniques, especially in biotherapeutic discovery, we’d love to hear from you.

Your responsibilities

  1. Production: Our super stable Athebody DARPins can be efficiently produced in bacteria and you will be responsible for the expression, purification, and characterization of these remarkable proteins. Quality is key and we focus on providing only the best molecules to our partners.
  2. Independent Worker: Be a team player and support the team by planning and executing work packages with minimal support.
  3. Data Mastery: Analyze and interpret your own results, then summarize and present to the team, to enable efficient decision making.
  4. Knowledge Expansion: Continuously expand your scientific and technical expertise.
  5. Scientific Excellence: Maintain rigorous standards in your experiments, striving for scientific excellence.
  6. Lab Equipment Care: Ensure the smooth operation and maintenance of our laboratory equipment.

Key requirements

  1. Apprenticeship, BSc, or MSc in a field of Life Sciences, e.g., biochemistry, (molecular/chemical) biology, or similar.
  2. Minimum of 2 years of protein science experience in the industry.
  3. Dedication to hands-on work in the lab is crucial.
  4. Strong experience in bacterial expression and affinity purification of proteins.
  5. Expertise in the biophysical characterization of therapeutic proteins using routine techniques such as HPLC and SDS-PAGE.
  6. Knowledge of binding assays such as BLI/SPR and ELISA.
  7. Mammalian cell culture and in vitro cell assay experience is preferred.
  8. Timely, independent, and precise working style, in the planning, execution, and documentation of experiments.
  9. Critical thinking and a problem-solving attitude.
  10. Team player with proactive communication and ability to adapt to changing priorities in a fast-paced entrepreneurial environment.
  11. Good written and verbal communication skills in English – German would be a plus.

What we offer

  1. An exciting opportunity to take responsibility and grow both professionally and personally within an early-stage biotech startup.
  2. Space to actively contribute and impact the development of the company.
  3. Chance to learn from world-leading experts in the DARPin technology.
