R&D Specialist - Immunoscreening

Regeneron's Therapeutic Antibodies group, located in Tarrytown, NY is looking for a highly motivated R&D Specialist to join our Immunoscreening team. In this role you will contribute to the identification of potential therapeutic antibodies, in vitro characterization and selection process of the lead molecules in early discovery stage. As a Specialist, you will be expected to develop and optimize recombinant protein and cell-based immunoassays suitable for high-throughput antibody screenings with a focus on Immuno-oncology targets.

A Typical Day in the role of Immunoscreening Specialist Might Look Like :

• Design and optimize immunoassays to assess functional properties of antibody therapeutics with referencing protocols.
• Design and execute cell-binding assays to categorize the diversity of antibodies in the collection.
• Execute assays according to established protocols as a part of antibody high throughput screenings.
• Perform medium to high throughput mammalian cell binding assays and ELISA
• Optimize assays for in vitro quantitative characterization of the lead antibodies.
• Compile and analyze data by Excel and graphing software.
