Endolytix Technology Inc. is a well-funded startup biopharmaceutical company developing novel biological antibacterial therapeutics for a critical unmet need to transform the lives of patients with the most difficult infections to treat due to antibiotic resistance, drug toxicities, access, and reemergence post-therapy. We are in the Preclinical stage of development focused on scale-up process development for our lead drug formulation that consists of Enzymes encapsulated into liposomes.

We’re seeking a highly skilled hands-on professional scientist to join a fast-paced biological formulations team at Endolytix. The successful candidate will provide expertise in formulations of biologicals as therapeutics. Responsibilities will include multiple aspects of formulations, protein biochemistry, and analytics to drive the development of novel medicines for the treatment of life-threatening bacterial infections for which there are no currently accepted treatments and a very poor success rate for the standards of care.
