The profile will be expected to have a strong track record in design, discovery and development of “biologicals”, especially antibodies and antibody derivatives to be explored for use in therapy and diagnostics. The candidate must be able to bridge clinical findings and biochemical studies at the molecular level and identify and pursue clinical applications evolving from this bridging.
