What is a Phage Display job?

A Phage Display job typically involves working with bacteriophage-based techniques to screen peptides, proteins, or antibodies for binding to specific targets. Scientists in this field use phage libraries to identify high-affinity binders for drug discovery, diagnostics, or therapeutic development. Responsibilities may include library construction, screening, sequencing, and data analysis. The role is often found in biotech or pharmaceutical companies, as well as academic research labs.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Phage Display position, and why are they important?

To thrive in a Phage Display role, you need a solid background in molecular biology, protein engineering, and laboratory techniques, often supported by a degree in biology, biochemistry, or a related field. Familiarity with tools such as PCR, ELISA, DNA sequencing, and bioinformatics software is typically required, and experience with phage libraries or related certifications can be advantageous. Strong analytical thinking, meticulous attention to detail, and effective teamwork and communication skills help candidates excel in this position. These competencies are vital for designing experiments, troubleshooting complex protocols, and collaborating on scientific research projects.

What are some typical day-to-day responsibilities for someone working in Phage Display?

Professionals in Phage Display spend much of their day designing, conducting, and troubleshooting experiments involving the selection and screening of phage-displayed peptide or antibody libraries. This often includes molecular cloning, bacterial culture, protein expression and purification, and data analysis. Collaboration with multidisciplinary teams—such as bioinformaticians, chemists, and project managers—is common, as is documenting results and preparing reports or presentations. The role may also involve adapting protocols for new targets, contributing to scientific publications, and maintaining meticulous laboratory records.

Job description

Manifold Bio is a platform biotechnology company pioneering AI-guided protein design and massively multiplexed in vivo screening to unlock tissue-targeted medicines and organism-scale models of living systems. Using proprietary molecular barcoding technology, we screen hundreds of thousands of protein designs simultaneously in living systems, producing in vivo-validated datasets at a scale no one else can match. The datasets power our computational models, which leads to better drug designs, creating a flywheel that gets stronger with every campaign. Our team of protein engineers, biologists, and computational scientists works across this full stack to pursue programs both internally and with leading pharma companies.
Position

We are seeking an exceptional scientist with expertise in library-based methodologies and substantial wet-lab experience to join our team. In this role, you will lead comprehensive library-based projects from conception to completion, engineering therapeutic proteins with transformative potential. You will develop and execute novel high-throughput screening assays, design and construct DNA libraries using advanced cloning techniques, and analyze complex library screens, including massively parallel in vivo screens powered by our proprietary mCode protein barcoding technology. You will work with a highly interdisciplinary team of creative experimental, computational, and hybrid scientists to advance high-throughput protein engineering and synthetic biology initiatives. As a key member of our growing company, you will contribute to building a culture that embraces scientific boldness and a strong team-focused approach to solving problems.

Required Qualifications

Wet Lab Expertise:

  • Masters/PhD or equivalent experience in molecular biology, bioengineering, or a related field.
  • Proficiency in standard molecular biology techniques and protocols.
  • Hands-on experience with phage-based display approaches.
  • Experience designing and constructing diverse DNA libraries for protein engineering applications.
  • Proven capability in library-based protein engineering, including experience with high-throughput or multiplexed assay formats.
  • Skilled in designing, executing, and analyzing complex experimental workflows from end to end.

Core Competencies:

  • Detail-oriented with exceptional organizational and communication skills.
  • Curious and flexible, with a strong desire to work collaboratively within a fast-paced and multidisciplinary team environment.
  • A love for tinkering with biological parts and solving challenges to develop novel assays.
  • Enthusiasm for combining rational design with unbiased approaches to problem-solving.
Preferred Qualifications
  • 2+ years of start-up, biotech, or pharma experience in protein engineering or assay development.
  • Direct experience with display technologies and selections including phage, yeast, and/or ribosome display.
  • Hands-on experience with generating and maintaining overexpression cell lines.
  • Hands-on experience with Next Geneneration Sequencing (NGS).
  • Experience with handling/processing animal tissues.
  • Experience developing or engineering brain shuttle technologies for improved blood-brain barrier transport.
  • Familiarity with screening-based methods with an NGS readout, e.g. DMS, MPRA, CRISPR screening, cancer screens, single cell sequencing.
  • Experience with data analysis (Python or R).
