Within this team we focus on technology innovation specifically focused on the generation of new antibody discovery pipelines, generation of antibody libraries and development of sequence-based antibody characterization methods. The CMS department is embedded in the Antibody Discovery Technologies cluster highly collaborating with departments focusing on innovation with respect to high throughput screening, protein production, purification and characterization and automation.
Responsibilities:
  • You will complement the team with your experience with the development of antibody-based prediction pipelines, participating in building prediction models at the intersection of molecular biology and data science.
  • You will build and implement prediction models focused on the generation of antibody libraries and development of sequence-based antibody characterization methods (e.g. humanization, immunogenicity, affinity and epitope/paratope mapping).
  • Your knowledge will be applied to specific problems in the protein sequence space like library design optimization, establishing protein characteristics based on enrichment studies, generation of sequence-based prediction models, antibody optimization and de novo antibody design.
  • Genmab is a highly collaborative environment. You will work in close collaboration with other data scientists within the organization as well as participate with scientist responsible for new antibody formats, new antibody products and discovery technologies programs.
  • Besides hands-on activities, you are expected to initiate and participate in the formation of strategies and future plans and participation in external communities.
