About the role

  • We are seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Research Associate to join our Protein Chemistry & Bioconjugation team.
  • This is a hands-on bench role focused on supporting the production, modification, and characterization of antibodies, proteins, and bioconjugates that underpin our targeted therapeutic programs.
  • The ideal candidate has a solid foundation in standard protein workflows and bioconjugation chemistry and can generate high-quality, decision-driving data to advance platform development.

Responsibilities

  • Perform post-conjugation purification techniques including desalting columns and TFF.
  • Perform standard protein analytics and concentration measurements
  • Maintain accurate experimental records and SOPs in an electronic lab notebook (ELN)
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with targeting, protein engineering, analytical, and translational teams to ensure materials align with program needs

Requirements

  • 1-3+ years of hands-on laboratory experience in a biotech, pharma, or academic research setting
  • Demonstrated proficiency in standard protein workflows:
  • Hands-on experience with at least one bioconjugation chemistry approach (e.g., NHS ester, maleimide, click chemistry)
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced research environment

Nice to have

  • Experience with antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs)
  • Familiarity with TFF systems including µPulse TFF
  • Experience with SEC-HPLC or analytical HPLC for purity/conjugation analysis
  • Experience with protein purification workflows including IMAC, SEC, and ion exchange chromatography
  • Experience with data analysis tools (GraphPad Prism, imageJ)
  • Hands-on proficiency in bench-scale protein chemistry and bioconjugation
  • Methodical approach to experimental execution and troubleshooting
  • High standards for data quality, reproducibility, and documentation

Benefits

  • Ring Therapeutics is leveraging this versatile technology to develop a broad pipeline of novel, targeted medicines for diseases with high unmet medical need.
