Engineering the future of antibody drug development to change the course of people’s lives!
Do you want to be part of an ambitious techbio start-up successfully tackling an issue nobody thought possible?
Antiverse is seeking a Scientist to help develop therapeutics and an enabling biologics discovery technology against challenging targets for 30+ indications. If you're self-motivated and able to work without step-by-step guidance with a real drive to get things done - we want to hear from you.
Join us to grow and evolve with a company transforming drug discovery!
Culture and Values
We believe in the power of autonomy nurtured in a culture with the following values.
People first
We work to make things better for everyone: both on a societal level and a personal level. We will thrive, as a team, as a company and as a society by combining smartness with thoughtfulness across everything we do.
Rigour & agility
We move fast and innovate in our thinking, yet combine this agility with utter rigour and robustness. We are dedicated to delivering rock-solid solutions.
Interdisciplinarity
An ugly word for a beautiful idea. Our interdisciplinary approach goes deeper than our science. We believe that the best ideas and the most interesting conversations often come from synthesising diverse expertise and experiences.
Dignity & nurture
We fundamentally believe in the value of each individual and the worth of their contribution regardless of the outcome. We believe that we all thrive best in a nurturing environment, and everything in our power is committed to building this supportive culture.
Go where there's a need
We have the potential to transform lives. We will not let ourselves be sidetracked in this calling. We will not fail those whose future we can save.
Role
The role requires the following skills and experience to run discovery projects independently. Tailored training will be provided as part of the onboarding for the successful candidate.

About Antiverse
Antiverse was founded by Ben Holland, Murat Tunaboylu and Rowina Westermeir at the Deep Science Ventures Accelerator Programme in 2017. Their objective was to create new enabling technologies in antibody discovery using artificial intelligence that allows for the creation of new therapies against the industry's most challenging targets. Since then, Antiverse has worked with five companies in antibody discovery programmes aimed at several GPCRs, Ion Channels and other challenging targets. In addition, we are developing our own internal pipeline, and have raised around $10.1 million.
