The Bioengineering team is responsible for developing and running high-throughput workflows for building DNA libraries, expressing and purifying proteins, and running protein characterisation studies (e.g. enzyme assays). Their aim is to build wet-lab infrastructure that enables much more scalable and cost-effective experimentation, leveraging high-throughput automation and working hand in hand with their machine learning algorithms. Next to more established methods, they will develop workflows that are based on fundamentally different techniques than currently are mainstream.
As a Research Associate, you will collaborate with scientists on the team to develop, execute, and continuously improve novel wet lab methods for their DNA construction and enzyme optimisation pipeline. If you enjoy running molecular biology workflows, love to tinker, and want to be a part of building the next-generation platform for making biotechnological products, then this is the perfect opportunity for you!
- Develop optimal methods for (library) DNA synthesis and assembly, protein expression, protein purification, and enzyme characterization;
- Adapt and optimize these methods into efficient, robust, and cost-effective workflows that integrate well with our high-throughput liquid handlers;
- Run workflows for (library) DNA synthesis and assembly, protein expression, protein purification, and enzyme characterisation;
- Effectively communicate results, successes and challenges in a cross-functional environment.
