About Aro BioTx  

Join the team at Aro Biotherapeutics creating breakthrough biotherapeutics based on Centyrin oligonucleotide conjugates.  Centyrins are small protein domains based on the fibronectin domains of human Tenascin C that combine the affinity and specificity properties of antibodies with the stability and tissue penetration properties of small molecules.  We have engineered Centyrins with an array of specificities for normal and immune cell receptors.  By linking Centyrin domains together genetically, we have created multi-specific binders that retain a small footprint to enable excellent tissue penetration.  Engineered for high stability, multi-specific Centyrins are readily expressed and purified from E. coli or mammalian cells.

Aro BioTx has two open positions; see the online applications here:

Seres Therapeutics is well-positioned to become the first company to bring an approved microbiome drug to patients through our proprietary discovery and design platform.  We identify key alterations in the microbiome that are associated with specific diseases and are designing live bacterial ecologies to act as therapeutics in areas as diverse as infectious and inflammatory disease, immune regulation, and immuno-oncology.

The Scientist, Analytical Development will work closely with our Analytical Development, Quality Control, and Research & Development teams in the development of microbial and molecular assays to ensure safe and effective bacterial therapeutics for the patients who need them.  This is a fantastic opportunity for a creative scientist who can apply their expertise to the unique challenges faced when characterizing and releasing therapeutics comprised of communities of bacteria. 

What’s in it for you?

This is an opportunity to have a significant impact on the development of a novel class of therapeutics for various disease areas while learning about the exciting science of the microbiome and its impact on human health and disease.  

How do you know if you’re the right fit?

This is an incredible opportunity for someone who will get excited about developing assays that are robust and capable of supporting key decisions to move our programs forward.  If you are flexible and driven, have worked in a fast-paced organization, and enjoy the challenge of forging a path forward in a new field, you would find this novel opportunity very engaging.  

In order to develop the sorts of assays Seres needs, you should be a PhD-level scientist, or equivalent, with significant assay development experience in the area of molecular biology and/or microbiology.   You should have an excellent attitude with an infectious excitement around learning and teaching your craft.   Experience with assay qualification or validation is a plus. Other desirable skills include sequencing, qPCR/dPCR, probe-based hybridization assays, LC-MS, IC, and automated liquid handlers.
