About Team: Protein Biology

The Protein Biology team in involved in large-scale function validation of antibodies, with a deep focus on reagent quality and specificity. The core activities of team include data processing and mining of protein biology; Western blots with state-of-art tools, High throughput and high-resolution Immuno-fluorescence imaging, and access to tools such as ChIP (Chromatin Immunoprecipitation), Gene-silencing to provide advance application tags to our antibody portfolio. The goal of the program is advanced product validation, creation of product information to promote research use.

Role & Responsibilities 

Purpose: - Part of the high-throughput antibody validation program, and contribute in the design and development of antibody validation strategy on specificity, To validate antibody for reproducibility and provide and target biology validation, using state-of-art using cell and molecular biology methods for creating data sets to enable high quality products. To role requires candidate to be rigorous in scientific experimental planning and execution.  Fluency in verbal and written communication of results in the work-place is highly desired.

Responsibilities:

• Detailed understanding and provide understanding of protein biology. Key aspects that include experimental plan preparation for in vivo protein detection in experimental model. The candidate would be proficient in reading and interpreting research data from scientific publications and data repositories.
• Ability to perform protein analysis using state-of-art methods that include cell and molecular biology methods, such as Western blots, ChIP, Immunoprecipitation and other tools in proteomic workflows.

• Proficient in cell and tissue imaging of mammalian systems. Understanding of cell and tissue preparation for tissue imaging by immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry, tissue processing and/or other biological imaging methods.
• Familiar with compilation and presentation of research data in written and presentation formats. Applies current processed to record results into data sheets and/or electronic note books is a job requirement. Familiarity with use of spreadsheets, retrieval of data from web/data repositories and use word and image processing software highly desired.  
• Delivery of design robust experimental work-plans, generate high-quality results, attention to details and schedules to support program objectives
