Summer Intern: Biopharma Solutions Antibody Engineering

Programmable DNA, the software of Life, is finally here! Twist Bioscience is developing a disruptive Synthetic DNA technology that will change the world, enabling widespread health and sustainability. Synthetic biologists will use our products to engineer how organisms produce cures to diseases, make everyday chemicals by using the atmosphere as the carbon source, enable plants to make their own fertilizers, and to create in-vivo diagnostics that alert us when we are sick, and many more applications.

We are seeking an outstanding, innovative, and creative intern to join our antibody discovery efforts. This intern will play multiple roles within the Biopharma group and will work within a team responsible for antibody discovery utilizing in vitro display technologies and bioinformatics tools. The ideal candidate will have emerging skills in AI/ML driven protein engineering techniques with an excitement to apply them with wet lab techniques in an industrial setting.

Key Responsibilities

• Utilize computational tools (including AI/ML methods) to generate de novo antibodies for novel display libraries to enable new initiatives within the organization.
• Guide and assist with construction of AI/ML or de novo designed antibody libraries using molecular cloning skills techniques and tools.
• Initiate display strategies to validate newly built libraries against targets of interest.
• Present findings to supervisor, in group meetings, and other stakeholders

What You’ll Bring to the Team

• Must be pursuing a bachelor’s or graduate degree in bioinformatics, biology, or biochemistry.
• Exposure and experience to antibody: antigen structure prediction with hands on experience with other in silico protein: protein interaction tools.
• Demonstrated experience with AlphaFold and programming languages
• Must have some wet lab skills
• Excitement to learn new techniques and take risks
• You thrive in a dynamic, quickly changing environment where we work cross functionally as a team
• Excellent oral/written communication and interpersonal skills
