We’re in relentless pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients’ lives. We innovate every day to make the world a healthier place.To fully realize Pfizer’s purpose – Breakthroughs that change patients’ lives – we have established a clear set of expectations regarding “what” we need to achieve for patients and “how” we will go about achieving those goals.Pfizer offers competitive compensation and benefits programs designed to meet the diverse needs of our colleagues.At Pfizer we deliver breakthroughs that change patients’ lives. In La Jolla, we are dedicated to the development of oncology agents that disrupt cancer biology or redirect the immune system against cancer cells. The Systems Biology team plays a vital role in this mission through enabling the discovery and molecular understanding of antibody-drug conjugates and small-molecule therapeutics. We are seeking an innovative colleague with scientific contributions in the field of cancer cell biology and proteomics.What You Will Achieve

As a member of our Systems Biology team, your research will drive a deeper understanding of drug targets through profiling tumor associated antigen (TAA) abundance in normal and tumor tissues, assessing proteome specificity degraders and degrader-antibody conjugates, and investigation of drug mechanism-of-action through mapping interactomes and post-translational modifications. You will act as a proteomics subject matter expert and participate on project teams, providing insight and technical expertise required for project progression. You will also work closely with the Medicinal Chemistry, Protein Engineering, and Oncology Biology groups to innovate and develop the next-generation of therapies.How You Will Achieve ItPrepare samples from cell lines and tissues for proteomic studiesIndependently develop and optimize protocols.
