Scientist II (Inflammation and Immunology (I&I) Discovery), EDDC

Roles & Responsibilities

At Experimental Drug Development Centre (EDDC), we are dedicated to discovering and developing novel therapeutics through close collaboration with public sector institutions and industry partners. Drug discovery is a complex and resource-intensive journey, and we harness AI and data-driven strategies to improve the success rate of our programs. As part of our long-term strategy, we initiate projects where confidence in the therapeutic targets is strengthened by insights from patient-derived datasets. Like many biotech and pharmaceutical companies that are expanding into inflammation and immunology (I&I) disease areas, our approach reflects this growing trend and aims to deliver innovative solutions to address significant unmet medical needs in this area.

We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Scientist to join our I&I discovery group. The ideal candidate should have a good grasp of concepts in immunology, molecular biology, and translational research. This is an exciting opportunity to be a part of the team working on the discovery of novel therapeutics and engaging in preclinical drug development from target exploration to drug candidate selection within the I&I therapeutic space.

Role and responsibilities :

• Develop experimental protocols and perform mammalian cell culture, biochemical, biophysical and cellular assays such as Western blotting, flow cytometry, thermal shift assays, plate-based assays involving fluorescence or luminescence for target validation and functional characterization of small / large molecule therapeutics.
• Support laboratory housekeeping, safety check, SOP writing and other administrative or compliance-related processes.
• Work closely with multidisciplinary teams, providing technical support to ongoing projects. Participate in lab meetings and contribute to the preparation of materials for presentations and reports.
• Analyze and present experimental data in a clear and concise manner, demonstrating a good understanding of its utilization and implications in the context of drug discovery.
