BIOMARIN
Scientist 1 Bioconjugation Chemistry (TEMPORARY)
BIOMARIN, San Rafael, California, United States, 94911
Who We Are
From research and discovery to post-market clinical development, our WWRD engine involves all bench and clinical research and the associated groups that support those endeavors. Our teams work on developing first-in-class and best-in-class therapeutics that provide meaningful advances to patients who live with genetic diseases.
Duties
Synthesis, optimization, and high-quality delivery of various polymer, protein/peptide, and lipidated bioconjugates in support of discovery and development of novel therapeutics, with an emphasis on oligonucleotidesDevelopment and implementation of new linker chemistries/spacers and bioconjugation methods for targeted drug deliveryLeveraging appropriate purification and analytical characterization approaches for QC and validationCollaboration with internal and external partners for material transfer to support
in vitro
and
in vivo
POC experiments; assemble data packages and maintain quality control documentation through Benchling for final product delivery.Effectively partner with cross-functional teams, sharing insights, troubleshooting issues, and driving science forward from the benchServe independently as bioconjugation technical lead and subject matter expert for internal and external project communicationsPerform data analysis, interpret, and present results during internal and external meetings; attend and participate in scientific proceedings.Prepare and optimize chemistry SOPsParticipate and present data andshare responsibility for project milestonesSkills
Extensive experience with different bioconjugation strategies and optimizations thereof for polymers, proteins/peptides, lipids, oligonucleotides and other biomoleculesIn-depth experience in bioconjugate purification techniques including various liquid chromatography methods (e.g. RP, IEX, SEC, HIC, affinity, FPLC) and membrane filtrations (e.g. TFF)Prior experience in biochemistry techniques and analytical methods such as SEC-MALs, LCMS, SPR/BLI, ELISA, SDS-PAGE, enzyme activity assays, etc.Willingness to learn new bioconjugation chemistries or delivery modalities and work across diverse therapeutic areas to develop protein therapeutics.Strong analytical mindset and chemistry problem-solving with creative thinkingThe position requires organization skills, attention to detail, self-motivation, and strong teamwork in a fast-paced settingEducation
Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering, Chemical Biology, Chemistry, or related fields is required; Scientist 1 will have 0-2 years of industry/post-doc experience relating to drug developmentStrong foundation in macromolecular chemistry, bioconjugation, analytical chemistry and/or chemical biology is strongly desired.A record of accomplishments/publications in relevant scientific discipline and some hands-on experience in oligonucleotide delivery is preferred but not required.
Equal Opportunity Employer/Veterans/Disabled
