Scientist / Senior Scientist – Drug Discovery (Antibodies)


Are you a passionate scientist with a strong foundation in immunology and antibody characterisation? Looking to play a key role in early-stage drug discovery for inflammatory diseases?


THE COMPANY

This cutting-edge biotech is redefining the landscape of drug discovery by harnessing the power of human genomics and machine learning. With a proprietary 3D genomics platform, they uncover disease mechanisms hidden in the non-coding genome and identify novel, first-in-class therapeutic targets. Their unique approach combines wet-lab science with computational biology to drive the discovery of antibody therapeutics rooted in real human biology.

You’ll be working in a company that rewards performance and has a strong track record of developing its employees. As a result, you’ll have the opportunity to progress your career at an accelerated rate, entirely determined by your own performance, while working on truly groundbreaking research that could change the way medicines are developed.


JOB ROLE

In this lab-based role, you will be responsible for designing and executing assays to assess antibody function, characterise immune cell responses, and elucidate mechanisms of action in primary human immune cells. Focusing on human genetic causes of disease, you’ll be advancing drug programmes rooted in human biology, vastly increasing their chances of success.

Working collaboratively across project teams, you will be immersed in a science-first, purpose- driven environment where you’ll push the limits of biology. You will be encouraged to speak up and your voice will be valued along with the expertise you bring.


ABOUT YOU

You will thrive in this position if you have:

  • Excellent drug discovery experience, ideally in Biotech/Pharma
  • Proven experience designing and executing immune cell assays, especially with primary human cells.
  • Strong expertise in multiparameter flow cytometry, functional immunoassays (e.g., proliferation, cytokine release), and antibody formats (Fc, ADCC, SPR, etc.).
  • Hands-on knowledge of antibody therapeutic drug discovery or development.

Also of interest, but not required, are:

  • An immunology background
  • Knowledge of regulatory T cell (Treg) biology or immunological disease models.


If this sounds like your kind of challenge, apply now or reach out to for more information.

Part-Time Study Routes That Lead to Machine Learning Jobs: Evening Courses, Bootcamps & Online Masters

Machine learning—a subset of artificial intelligence—enables computers to learn from data and improve over time without explicit programming. From predictive maintenance in manufacturing to recommendation engines in e-commerce and diagnostic tools in healthcare, machine learning (ML) underpins many of today’s most innovative applications. In the UK, demand for ML professionals—engineers, data scientists, research scientists and ML operations specialists—is growing rapidly, with roles projected to increase by over 50% in the next five years. However, many aspiring ML practitioners cannot step away from work or personal commitments for full-time study. Thankfully, a rich ecosystem of part-time learning pathways—Evening Courses, Intensive Bootcamps and Flexible Online Master’s Programmes—empowers you to learn machine learning while working. This comprehensive guide examines each route: foundational CPD units, immersive bootcamps, accredited online MSc programmes, funding options, planning strategies and a real-world case study. Whether you’re a software developer branching into ML, a statistician aiming to upskill, or a professional exploring AI-driven innovation, you’ll discover how to build in-demand ML expertise on your own schedule.
