What are bio scientists?

Bio scientists, also known as biological scientists, are professionals who study living organisms and their relationship to the environment. They conduct research in various fields such as genetics, microbiology, ecology, and physiology to advance scientific knowledge and solve real-world problems. Bio scientists may work in laboratories, universities, government agencies, or private industries, often applying their findings to healthcare, agriculture, environmental conservation, and biotechnology. Their work contributes to medical advancements, environmental protection, and sustainable resource management.

What is the difference between Bio Scientists vs Microbiologists?

AspectBio ScientistsMicrobiologists
Required CredentialsBachelor's or higher in biology, biochemistry, or related fields; often advanced degrees for research rolesBachelor's or higher in microbiology, biology, or related fields; advanced degrees common for research positions
Work EnvironmentLaboratories, research institutions, universities, healthcare facilitiesLaboratories, healthcare settings, research institutions, environmental agencies
Employer & Industry UsageUniversities, biotech companies, government agencies, healthcareHospitals, pharmaceutical companies, public health labs, environmental agencies

Bio Scientists and Microbiologists share similar educational backgrounds and work environments, often collaborating in research and healthcare settings. However, Bio Scientists have a broader focus on biological systems, while Microbiologists specialize in microorganisms. Both roles are vital in advancing scientific knowledge and public health.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Bio Scientist, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Bio Scientist, you need a solid background in biology, chemistry, and laboratory research, typically supported by at least a bachelor’s or master’s degree in a life science field. Experience with laboratory instruments, data analysis software, and familiarity with techniques like PCR, chromatography, and microscopy are often required. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and effective teamwork and communication skills help distinguish exceptional Bio Scientists. These competencies are crucial for conducting accurate experiments, interpreting data, and collaborating on scientific discoveries.

What are some common challenges bio scientists face when collaborating on interdisciplinary research projects?

Bio scientists often work as part of interdisciplinary teams, collaborating with professionals from fields such as chemistry, engineering, or computational science. A common challenge in this environment is bridging knowledge gaps and ensuring clear communication among team members with diverse backgrounds. Successfully navigating these challenges requires adaptability, a willingness to learn new concepts, and strong teamwork skills. Emphasizing open dialogue and sharing expertise helps foster innovation and can make interdisciplinary projects especially rewarding.

Company Summary:

Atavistik Bio is a privately-held clinical stage biotechnology company accelerating the discovery and development of transformative precision allosteric therapeutics to address serious unmet patient needs. Our proprietary AMPS platform allows us to rapidly unlock functional cryptic pockets across a broad range of target classes to accelerate the development of groundbreaking medicines. We have rapidly established an emerging pipeline of allosteric therapeutics with the potential to achieve superior efficacy and tolerability profiles by leveraging the power of allostery. 

Atavistik Bio is led by an experienced team of drug hunters with a proven track record of developing marketed small molecule therapies and supported by top-tier investors, including The Column Group, Nextech Invest, Lux Capital, Regeneron Ventures, and RA Capital Management. 

Position Summary:

We are seeking a Senior Scientist, DMPK, to join our R&D group and work with an enthusiastic team of highly skilled scientists in a fast-pace environment. Reporting to the Senior Director, DMPK, this individual will be responsible for the design, execution, reviewing and interpreting the non-clinical DMPK data. This work supports the progression of therapies from discovery through first in human and proof of concept clinical studies.   This is a great opportunity to contribute to an efficient DMPK function while being part of an exciting early-stage company. 

Key Responsibilities:
  • Representative DMPK as a member of preclinical teams.
  • Function as a key member of Atavistik Bio's scientific team, providing scientific expertise, strategic planning, and goal-oriented execution.

  • Propose ADME/PK, biodistribution and PK-PD approaches at team discussions of high impact on project progression.
  • Manage consultants and vendors to support DMPK studies.
  • Partner with the discovery group to optimize preclinical models and inform on first in human clinical dosing strategies.
  • Review preclinical study reports, in conjunction with Pharmacokinetics/DMPK and prepare regulatory submission documentation.
  • Lead and oversee in-vitro ADME/DMPK assays (metabolic stability, CYP, PPB, permeability, solubility).
  • Interpret DMPK data to guide structure-property relationships and compound selection.
  • Support and interpret in-vivo PK and bioanalytical data (LC-MS/MS) and work collaboratively with the pharmacology leads to understand the PK/PD/Efficacy relationships.
  • Develop DMPK strategies for hit-to-lead and lead optimization programs and inform on first in human clinical dosing strategies.
  • Interface with CROs and external partners when needed.
  • Collaborate cross functionally with all relevant areas to support strategic objectives.
Required Qualifications:
  • PhD., Pharm. D. or equivalent training in pharmacokinetics, pharmaceutical sciences, or related disciplines.
  • 5+ years of experience in bio/pharmaceutical industry, combined with drug development.
  • Excellent communication and collaborative skills to work on multiple project teams including chemists, biologists and platform scientists.  
  • Highly organized, self-motivated with a desire to succeed in a fast-paced organization.
  • Solid understanding of drug metabolism, bioanalysis, pharmacokinetics, preclinical pharmacology, and PK/PD modeling.
  • Expertise in SAR analysis and IVIVC.
  • Expertise managing CROs, GLP and other regulated activities.
  • Ability to operate objectively and independently as a leader and as a member of a team.
  • Experience with regulatory submissions for small molecules with a focus on preclinical is a plus.
  • Experience in nonclinical toxicology is a plus.
$130,000 - $150,000 a year
