AbSynth: Biotech R&D Positions in the North West

Biotech R&D Positions in the North West

Are you a PhD or graduate in a biomedical sciences looking to join a biotech company at an exciting stage of its growth?  Absynth Biologics is recruiting for three R&D positions to be based in laboratories in Manchester or Sheffield. Founded in 2007, Absynth  is developing vaccines and antibodies to treat bacterial infections.  The company’s distinctive approach has identified highly conserved bacterial protein targets, essential for life and capable of stimulating the immune system. Absynth’s pipeline focuses on infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes and Clostridium difficile and we are looking for high quality scientists to join our team:

Group Leader
Reporting to the Director of Research, you will  develop and run a team of scientists to strict deadlines and budgets.  You will be involved also in defining the scientific and patenting strategy taking in to account the company’s competitive position.  You are likely to hold a PhD in a biomedical science and have seven or more years’ post doctoral experience within industry.  You should have expertise in at least three of the following: vaccines (preferably bacterial), immunology,  microbiology, in vivo models of infection or protein production.  This is definitely a bench scientist role and you will be a great experimental scientist with a passion for high quality work and translational science.

Senior Scientist
You will report to the Director of Research and then act as an independent scientist, working on one or more of the company’s programmes.  You will manage a team of scientists and will direct their work as well as your own activities, to strict deadlines and budgets.  You will probably have a PhD plus at least three years’ post doctoral experience within industry and be experienced in the following techniques: vaccines (preferably bacterial), immunology, microbiology, in vivo  models of infection or protein production.
In both of these positions experience with the pathogens in Absynth’s pipeline would be an advantage.

Junior Scientist
You will probably have a degree in biological sciences and several years’ post graduate experience as a microbiologist and/or immunologist.  

Absynth offers a great opportunity to join ground breaking science with application in an increasingly important area of human health.  We are well funded and will be offering competitive salaries.

Protein folding via charge zippers

Jan. 18, 2013 — Membrane proteins are the "molecular machines" in biological cell envelopes. They control diverse processes, such as the transport of molecules across the lipid membrane, signal transduction, and photosynthesis. Their shape, i.e. folding of the molecules, plays a decisive role in the formation of, e.g., pores in the cell membrane. In the journal Cell, researchers of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and the University of Cagliari are now reporting a novel charge zipper principle used by proteins to form functional units. "It is fascinating to see the elegant basic principles that are used by nature to construct molecular assemblies," explains Anne Ulrich, Director of the KIT Institute for Biological Interfaces. "A charge zipper between the charged side chains is an entirely unexpected mechanism used by membrane proteins to neutralize their charges such that they can be immersed into hydrophobic cell membranes....
