Job description
Senior Research Leader - Biologics Design - London
Please note that there is some degree of flexibility around the level of seniority in the position - you’re ideally somewhere between Research Scientist and Distinguished Researcher (Director) but we will need you to take an active hands-on role as an individual contributor rather than being a people manager.
Isomorphic Labs is an Alphabet company that is reimagining drug discovery through a computational- and AI-first approach.
We are on a mission to accelerate the speed, increase the efficacy and lower the cost of drug discovery. You'll be working at the cutting edge of the new era of 'digital biology' to deliver a transformative social impact for the benefit of millions of people.
Come and be part of a multi-disciplinary team driving groundbreaking innovation and play a meaningful role in contributing towards us achieving our ambitious goals, while being a part of an inspiring, collaborative and entrepreneurial culture.

This represents a significant opportunity for a hands-on leader to shape the future of generative de novo antibody and protein based therapeutics design.
Your experience in biologics, coupled with strong existing industry networks, will be essential in establishing and maintaining relationships with key partners in implementing the platform to generate novel biological therapies.
What you will do
- Build, grow and lead a multidisciplinary team to deliver an industry leading AI/ML based biologics design platform
- Work with Isomorphic labs’ business development and executive leadership teams to establish and implement partnerships and integrative strategies to deliver biologics based therapeutics
- Provide end to end leadership of Isomorphic labs biologics strategies working effectively with key internal and external partners to ensure biologic drug discovery program milestones and objectives are met within agreed timelines and budgets

- Track record of leading end to end biologics discovery programs
- Knowledge of key stage gate exit criteria for a portfolio program

- PhD or equivalent experience focused on oncology or immunology or other relevant life sciences research
Nice to have:
- Experience leveraging ML techniques for biologics design

- Project experience across multiple biologics platforms
- Experience of developing drug targeting e.g. ADCs and functional therapeutic antibodies
- Experience managing budgets
Culture and values
What does it take to be successful at IsoLabs? It's not about finding people who think and act in the same way, but we do have some shared values:
Thoughtful
Thoughtful at Iso is about curiosity, creativity and care. It is about good people doing good, rigorous and future-making science every single day.
Brave
Brave at Iso is about fearlessness, but it’s also about initiative and integrity. The scale of the challenge demands nothing less.
Determined
Determined at Iso is the way we pursue our goal. It’s a confidence in our hypothesis, as well as the urgency and agility needed to deliver on it. Because disease won’t wait, so neither should we.
Together
Together at Iso is about connection, collaboration across fields and catalytic relationships. It’s knowing that transformation is a group project, and remembering that what we’re doing will have a real impact on real people everywhere.
Creating an inclusive company
We realise that to be successful we need our teams to reflect and represent the populations we are striving to serve. We’re working to build a supportive and inclusive environment where collaboration is encouraged and learning is shared. We value diversity of experience, knowledge, backgrounds and perspectives and harness these qualities to create extraordinary impact.
We are committed to equal employment opportunities regardless of sex, race, religion or belief, ethnic or national origin, disability, age, citizenship, marital, domestic or civil partnership status, sexual orientation, gender identity, pregnancy or related condition (including breastfeeding) or any other basis protected by applicable law. If you have a disability or additional need that requires accommodation, please do not hesitate to let us know.
Hybrid working
It’s hugely important for us to be able to share knowledge and establish relationships with each other, and we find it easier to do this if we spend time together in person. This is why we’ve decided to follow a hybrid model, and for full time positions we would require you to be able to come into the office 3 days a week (currently Tue, Wed, and one other day depending on which team you’re in). For part time positions this may vary. As an equal opportunities employer we are committed to building an equal and inclusive team. If you have additional needs that would prevent you from following this hybrid approach, we’d be happy to talk through these if you’re selected for an initial screening call.
