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.
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.
Ellison Institute of Technology Oxford
Research Scientist role in the Molecular Simulations and Design team, combining generative models, physical simulation and experimental data to accelerate biomolecule design, initially enzymes. Involves developing methods such as Boltzmann samplers, long-timestep molecular dynamics, machine-learned interatomic potentials and flow matching/diffusion, with full-stack work from pre-training to design-build-test loops.
Platform Recruitment London
Develops and optimises therapeutic delivery formulations, designing lab experiments to assess stability, physicochemical properties and in vitro performance. Works in a multidisciplinary biotech team, characterising formulations analytically and supporting scale-up and tech transfer towards manufacturing. Distinct for its blend of formulation science, experimental development and translational research.
Isomorphic Labs London
You will design and develop LLM applications for drug discovery, working with research scientists and engineers on model architectures, post-training, reasoning, agents and reinforcement learning. The role spans core ML research, scaling training and inference frameworks, and potentially leading standalone projects with technical mentorship.
Isomorphic Labs London
Builds greenfield machine learning models and algorithms for drug discovery, designing new architectures, running experiments and scaling training and inference frameworks.
