Protein Engineering & Antibody Technologies
For me, one of the big questions has always been how the structure of a molecule affects its function. Not only is it fascinating in terms of pure science, it has huge implications for medicine.
Many companies prefer to use conventional in vitro techniques to improve their biological drugs. At EMD Serono, I use powerful software programs to simulate changes to the protein structure that could improve therapeutic potential.
There’s a willingness here to be a pioneer, to pursue cutting-edge technologies for drug discovery and transform medical science.
On top of that, there’s a great sense of social responsibility – and fun too. I’ve done long-distance bicycle rides and helped raise funds for patient advocacy groups since I’ve been here, all as part of Team EMD Serono.
