  • Perform protein interaction kinetics experiments (SPR, BLI, KinExA) for antibodies, antigens, and reagents.
  • Independently analyze experimental data and troubleshoot difficult experiments.
  • Determine and validate new methods and procedures. Able to perform critical analysis of experimental approach and interpretation of data.
  • Biophysically characterize antibodies, antigens, and reagents using a variety of analytical tools such as DSC, cIEF, CE-SDS, and DLS.
  • Participate in antibody engineering and humanization activities; develop an expanding knowledge in this area using scientific literature.
  • Maintain detailed organization of experimental results to inform project decisions. Ability to summarize key data, and present at project team meetings.
  • Maintain familiarity with literature to propose and implement improved procedures and protocols, and to aid in problem solving.
  • Follow and adhere to SOPs and laboratory safety regulations. 
  • Mentor junior and new laboratory personnel.
  • Maintain a detailed and well-organized record of experiments in an electronic notebook.

  Personal Competencies

  • Ability to communicate clearly, and to report and present experimental results and analysis to department colleagues.

Company

AnaptysBio is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on delivering innovative immunology therapeutics. We are developing immune cell modulators, including two checkpoint agonists in clinical-stage development, for autoimmune and inflammatory disease: rosnilimab, our PD-1 agonist program in a Phase 2 trial for the treatment of moderate-to-severe rheumatoid arthritis; and ANB032, our BTLA agonist program, currently in a Phase 2b trial for the treatment of moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis. Our preclinical immune cell modulator portfolio includes ANB033, an anti-CD122 antagonist antibody for the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. In addition, AnaptysBio has developed two cytokine antagonists available for out-licensing: imsidolimab, an anti-IL-36R antagonist, in Phase 3 for the treatment of generalized pustular psoriasis, or GPP, and etokimab, an anti-IL-33 antagonist for the treatment of respiratory disorders that is Phase 2/3 ready. AnaptysBio has also discovered multiple therapeutic antibodies licensed to GSK in a financial collaboration for immune-oncology, including an anti-PD-1 antagonist antibody (Jemperli (dostarlimab-gxly)), an anti-TIM-3 antagonist antibody (cobolimab, GSK4069889) and an anti-LAG-3 antagonist antibody (GSK4074386).

Our corporate vision is to transform patient health by delivering innovative immunology therapeutics. Find out more about us by following us on Twitter.
