Description of position
As a member of the newly established Biologics and New
modalities Discovery Groups you will work closely with cross-functional
teams to provide computational biology support to the antibody and new
modalities discovery process. Your primary responsibilities will include
the application of structural analysis to sequences from both internal
and public databases to enable therapeutic protein design,
oligonucleotide designs, gene editing designs, CRISPR-based gene
editing, and antibody repertoire analysis.
The identification of relevant liabilities in nucleotide
sequences will be a critical responsibility in order to successfully
support generation and optimization of the modalities (therapeutic
oligonucleotide, peptides and biologics). You support day to day
laboratory work in-house and you will therefore have a good possibility
to do a lot of hands-on laboratory work verifying the computational
designs. You will be also the primary contact with collaborations with
partners and CROs on your expertise areas. You will be based in Turku.
We offer
Exciting opportunities to create and have an impact to the future therapies for patients.
In
Orion we have a highly interesting R&D pipeline and enthusiastic
working environment with opportunities to use your own strengths to
build your competence development and career. As an expert of your own
field you will be a member of multi-disciplinary team jointly innovating
and developing new treatments for the patients. Appreciation of
colleagues and continuous development are part of our core values. The
culture of Orion R&D is informal and we enjoy working together.
We are passionate about the patient welfare and serve as The
Voice of Science and the Patient – if this inspires you too – join us!

development and optimization.
The newly established Biologics and New Modalities team is part
of our R&D organization and it is responsible for bringing as new
treatment modalities for Orion’s pipeline covering therapeutic
nucleotides, delivery technologies and gene therapy. Adding the
possibility to modulate the target with either small or large molecules
enables us to choose the right target and then use the best modalities
to modulate the target protein in order to create the best value for
patients. To fulfill this exciting task the New Modalities function is
strengthened by recruiting new R&D experts with a track record of on
advanced therapy modalities. The function is currently to set up and
you have a great opportunity to be part of developing our processes.
Requirements
To operate successfully in this position you should
have a PhD degree in genetics, molecular biology, computational or
biology structural biology with several years of post-doctoral
experience in computational biology to support optimization of
therapeutic large molecules. You should also have thorough understanding
of in vitro models for system biology and biophysical data analysis.
Willingness to create new things is a must because you will
join a team that is just recently set up. The role includes
collaboration within Orion and with various collaborators, therefore
strong communication skills and an ability to convince your audience is
an asset.
