Research Associate/Senior Research Associate, Pharmacology

Sutro Biopharma, located in South San Francisco, is a clinical-stage company and pioneered a compelling and unique way of discovering, developing, and manufacturing therapeutics. Our focus is aimed primarily on next-generation cancer therapeutics— Antibody Conjugates, Bispecific Antibodies, and cytokine derivatives. These therapeutics will significantly extend the clinical impact of current oncology therapeutic approaches and are beyond what can be envisioned with traditional cell-based expression technologies. Sutro's biochemical synthesis technology, which underpins these therapeutics, allows the rapid and systematic exploration of many protein drug variants to research, discover, and develop drug candidates. Our make-test cycle for hundreds of protein variants, including those incorporating non-natural amino acids, takes approximately two weeks. Once identified, the production of these protein drug candidates can be rapidly and predictably manufactured at commercial scales. In addition to developing its own drug pipeline, Sutro Biopharma is collaborating with select pharmaceutical and biotech companies in the research, discovery, development, and manufacture of novel protein therapeutics.

Sutro Biopharma is looking for a talented and energetic team player to help drive the preclinical advancement of our drug portfolios within the Immunobiology Pharmacology group.
