Plexium is a San Diego-based drug discovery company that is focused on developing targeted protein degradation agents for the treatment of cancer and other diseases. We work at the intersection of engineering, chemistry, and biology, utilizing DNA-encoded libraries (DELs) and the richness of phenotypic assays to explore new frontiers in drug discovery. Plexium has an open work environment with a positive, friendly, and collaborative culture. We are committed to fostering innovation by removing barriers between departments and disciplines and supporting the growth and development of our team members.
Plexium’s biology group is seeking a highly motivated scientist to join a multidisciplinary team dedicated to the discovery of novel targeted protein degradation therapeutics. The candidate must have in-depth knowledge of cancer biology and experience with the characterization of small molecule inhibitors in various cell-based assays. This is a hands-on position that requires an ability to be productive in a rapidly evolving environment. Responsibilities include target validation and mechanism of action studies, development of disease hypotheses, and supporting lead optimization. The successful candidate will be an independent and motivated team player that is able to work closely with others to solve complex problems. Previous industry experience is preferred.
