  • Develop, optimize, and validate expression systems, purification protocols, and functional assays.
  • Operate and oversee purification workflows including FPLC systems (e.g., ÄKTA) and ensure QC/reproducibility.
  • Troubleshoot folding, solubility, stability, PTMs and integrate outputs with in vivo/in vitro downstream applications.
  • Establish SOPs, metrics, and milestones; track progress and report to senior leadership.
  • Support adjacent technologies (e.g., HPLC for metabolite analysis) and champion continuous improvement.

Education
