Biotechnology Jobs

CureAge Therapeutics · London

Lead the computationally guided design of a lipid nanoparticle delivery platform, applying chemical and biophysical principles to optimise LNP composition and formulation. Use AI-enabled chemistry, cheminformatics, predictive models and molecular modelling to prioritise formulation components, working closely with the experimental team and founding team in a small start-up.

Alloy Therapeutics UK Ltd · Cambridge · £45,000 – £50,000 pa

Design and build large-scale synthetic gene loci and transgenic platforms for antibody discovery, using CRISPR/Cas9, RMCE and site-specific integrases. Hands-on molecular biology including PCR, NGS, plasmid construction and flow-cytometric immunophenotyping, within a small multidisciplinary team working from dry-lab design to wet-lab validation.

Evotec · Macclesfield

Lead the design, engineering, expression, purification and characterisation of complex biologic therapeutics including monoclonal, bispecific and multispecific antibodies. Acts as biologics scientific lead on client-facing drug discovery programmes, mentoring junior scientists and shaping project strategy within a multidisciplinary Protein Sciences team.

Ellison Institute of Technology · Oxford

Lead a flagship research programme in biological nitrogen fixation, engineering novel nitrogen-fixing systems into plants through metabolic and protein engineering. Recruit and manage a team of postdocs and PhD students, drive stage-gated translational research from lab to field, and build collaborations across EIT Oxford and commercial partners.

Basecamp Research · London

Owns R&D extraction workflow development, adapting and optimising metagenomic DNA/RNA extraction methods across diverse, low-biomass and inhibitor-rich sample types, including HMW extractions for long-read sequencing. Designs controlled experiments, transfers validated methods to production and a global partner network, and works in a data-first lab environment feeding a large gene atlas.

Evotec · Macclesfield

Designs and executes work plans for early drug discovery projects within a Protein Sciences team, supporting multiple projects and presenting results to clients. Hands-on role focused on recombinant protein expression using insect cell systems such as BEVS, S2 and Sf9, including construct design, baculovirus generation and troubleshooting difficult targets like membrane proteins.

Nuclera · Cambridge

Formulate, dispense and quality-control reagents for a protein discovery platform, operating lab equipment such as pipettes, centrifuges and UPLC systems. The role covers batch documentation, inventory management via ERP and troubleshooting production deviations, working closely with R&D, QA and Supply Chain in a fast-paced lab environment.
