About the Team: Protein Biology
The Protein Biology team is involved in large-scale function validation of antibodies, with a deep focus on reagent quality and specificity. The core activities of the team include data processing and mining of protein biology; Western blots with state-of-art tools, high efficiency and high-resolution immuno-fluorescence imaging and immunohistochemistry, and access to tools such as ChIP (Chromatin Immunoprecipitation), gene-silencing to
provide advance application tags to our antibody portfolio. The goal of the program is high-quality product validation and the curation of product information to promote research use.Role & Responsibilities
Purpose: – To perform antibody and target biology validation, using groundbreaking cell and molecular biology methods, and deliver high-quality products. This role requires the candidate to be meticulous in scientific experimental planning and execution. Proficiency in verbal and written communication of results in the workplace is helpful.
Responsibilities:
- Detailed curation of protein target biology that includes expression, modification, and sub-cellular localization, guided by researching scientific publications and mining data repositories.
- Perform cell and molecular biology methods at a high level of proficiency. Expertise in protein analysis, use of gel-electrophoresis, SDS-PAGE, Cell lysate preparation/western blotting, immunoprecipitations and or other proteomic tools.
- Cellular and tissue imaging by immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry/tissue processing and/or other biological imaging methods
- Recording results into data sheets and/or electronic notebooks is a job requirement. Familiarity with the use of spreadsheets, retrieval of data from web/data repositories, MS software, and image processing software is helpful.
- Delivery of high-quality results, attention to detail, and schedules to support program objectives.
Candidate Requirement:
Education & Experience levels:
