<h3>Job Description</h3>
Job description
Tektonyx Bio is focused on the use and optimization of a semi-synthetic E. coli organism for the production of novel protein therapeutics. We harness the power of a revolutionary technology based on E. coli that has been engineered to utilize an expanded genetic alphabet composed of the four natural nucleotides and two additional, synthetic nucleotides. This technology allows the encoding and production of custom proteins with site-specific functionalities for the discovery and development of novel protein-based therapeutics. We are seeking an analytical scientist/mass spectrometrist to utilize and help develop novel analytical, proteomic, and metabolomic methods to optimize unnatural protein production as well as to further optimize the semi-synthetic organism.
 
Key Responsibilities
Ability to serve as the analytical subject matter expert and work closely with colleagues across the company.
 
Develop chromatography and mass spectrometry methods for characterizing the expressed proteins and assessing expression yields and the fidelity with which various non-canonical amino acids are incorporated.
 
While use of the semi-synthetic organism for industrial scale therapeutic protein production has been validated, many aspects of the organism’s physiology remain to be further optimized, and the successful applicant will work with colleagues focused on optimizing the organism’s physiology. This will include both metabolomics and proteomics.
 
Tektonyx Bio places a premium on intra-company collaboration, and thus the desire to interact closely with all facets of the effort to develop and use the semi-synthetic organism for novel therapeutic protein production is a must. The successful applicant should also enjoy and excel at working collaboratively on fast paced projects with rapidly evolving goals.
 
Basic Qualifications
PhD in a field related to analytical chemistry, proteomics, or metabolomics. Additional postdoctoral/industry experience is a benefit but not a requirement.
 
Strong background in chromatographic separation, biophysical characterization (SPR, DLS, DSF, circular dichroism), and spectrophotometric techniques for proteins and protein conjugates. Familiarity with Agilent instrumentation (LC &amp; Q-TOF LC/MS) and OpenLab/Chromeleon software is a benefit.
 
Familiarity with the routine use of mass spectrometry for the characterization of proteins is essential. Familiarity with the use of mass spectrometry proteomics/metabolomics is beneficial, but not essential.
 
Excellent written and oral communication skills; strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
 
The salary range for this role is $120,000 – $160,000 and is based on a number of factors including qualifications and experience. Tektonyx also offers a comprehensive benefits package.

<h3>Job Description</h3>
Research Associate, Cell Biology
 
Company Overview
XDemics, a Caltech spinout, is fundamentally improving the way cells are grown. We’ve addressed a primary bottleneck—the basic inability to efficiently transfer oxygen in media during cell growth.&nbsp;&nbsp;Our high-density cell respiration (HDCR) technology enables mammalian cells to grow at 20- to 100-fold higher densities—whether in a Petri dish or bioreactor. As a result, scientists and manufacturers can produce more high-quality, viable cells in far less space and time, dramatically slashing R&amp;D and manufacturing costs.
 
From the lab bench to industrial-scale production, HDCR is transformative. One Expansify™ Petri dish replaces 25 traditional polystyrene dishes, vastly accelerating biomedical innovation while cutting costs. With predictable process scale-up, our Profusion-Midi™ 5L and Profusion-Max™ 50L bioreactors will respectively generate up to 1–10 trillion cells, eliminating the need for massive, complicated 200–2000L stirred-tank vessels.
 
HDCR systems deliver high-quality cell and gene therapies more efficiently, reducing the overall cost of these advanced medicines by up to 80%, achieving cost parity with biologics and making these life-changing treatments more accessible worldwide.
 
We are seeking a talented and experienced associate to join our outstanding team in our laboratory facilities within the world-famous Buck Institute in Marin County, California.
 
Position Summary
We are looking for a Research Associate with demonstrated biotech experience in tissue culture, protein expression, and screening. The ideal candidate thrives at the bench, excels in collaboration, and is eager to contribute to a dynamic, cutting-edge high-tech startup environment.
