Dren Bio, Inc.
Scientist I-II Bioprocess Scientist, Molecular Design & Development
Dren Bio, Inc., San Mateo, California, United States, 94404
Scientist I-II Bioprocess Scientist, Molecular Design & DevelopmentAbout the Company: Dren Bio (the "Company") is a privately held, clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing therapeutic antibodies for the treatment of cancer, autoimmune and other serious diseases. The Company's management team and scientific advisors have profound expertise covering the discovery and development of specially engineered antibodies. Dren Bio's pipeline encompasses a multitude of programs from its two distinct, wholly-owned technologies. The Company's lead development candidate, DR-01, induces antibody-mediated killing of a specific cell type known to play a key role in various hematologic malignancies and autoimmune disorders. In addition to DR-01, the Company has launched multiple programs from its proprietary Targeted Myeloid Engager and Phagocytosis Platform, a bispecific antibody-based technology that offers a novel mechanism of action focused on selectively engaging myeloid cells (antigen presenting cells) for the targeted depletion of pathologic cells and other disease-causing agents.

This role will involve collaborating closely with antibody engineers and interfacing with the biologics, protein sciences, and CMC groups. This is an opportunity to develop a substantially diverse skill set hands-on and to grow with the organization, and therefore we are seeking an individual with an energetic curiosity for complex molecules and their early development.Role and Responsibilities:
Upstream: CHO cell culture experiments to assess the expressability, chain-balancing and assembly of bispecific antibodies
Downstream: column chromatography to assess manufacturability of bispecifics and impurity mapping to assess separation of product-related variants
Analytics: outcomes of bioprocess experiments will be assayed orthogonally and analyzed for product-quality outcomes
Education, Experience and Qualification Requirements: B.Sc or equivalent in Biochemistry, Biotechnology, or a related field5-10 years’ experience in the biopharmaceutical industry, field or a related protein-scienceContributed to IND-enabling manufacturing processes (toxicological and/or clinical)Core Competencies, Knowledge and Skill Requirements: Downstream purification experience is emphasized. Required skills are column chromatography with Akta/Unicorn systems and experience across different column chemistries (affinity, ion exchange, HIC, multimodal) and modes (bind-elute, flow-through, overload).Upstream cell culture experience with CHO transient or stable expression including sterile technique with passaging, transfection and recovery harvest.Experience analyzing product-quality and characterizing product-related variants with orthogonal assays including U/HPLC by sizing and reversed-phase, mass spectrometry, and capillary electrophoresis.Salaries, Benefits and Other Employee Perks: Dren Bio strongly believes in investing in, and rewarding, its employees. This philosophy is embodied in the Company’s total rewards program, which includes competitive cash compensation, equity incentive awards, and employer-sponsored benefit offerings. The base pay range for this position at commencement of employment is expected to be between $118,000 and $148,000 per year. At Dren Bio, pay ranges are determined by role, level(s), and location. The range displayed in this job posting reflects the minimum and maximum new hire pay for candidates located across all United States job markets. Within the range, individual pay will be determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. During the hiring process, Dren Bio’s Human Resources department can share more about the specific pay range based on the market location of the candidate.Employment Practices: Dren Bio is an equal opportunity employer. Employment decisions are based on merit and business needs. Dren Bio will not discriminate against any job applicant because of race, color, national origin, ancestry, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion, creed, physical or mental disability, gender identity, medical condition, pregnancy, marital status, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by federal, state or local law.Interested Applicants: Please send resume and cover letter to careers@drenbio.com
