Additional Information

About Abiologics Abiologics is a Flagship Pioneering company developing Synteins™ - a transformative class of fully synthetic proteins composed entirely of artificial building blocks such as D-amino acids and non-canonical residues. Synteins TM are designed to transcend the limitations of traditional biologics, with improved oral stability, immune evasion, and metabolic durability - all while being fully programmable by design. Powered by a proprietary AI-enabled discovery platform, Abiologics integrates generative design , automated synthesis , and rapid experimental screening to enable iterative optimization at scale. Position Summary We are seeking a Protein Design Scientist to join the Computational Protein Design team and help drive structure-based design and optimization of synthetic proteins. This is a highly interdisciplinary role at the interface of computational design, structural biology, and protein engineering. Ideal candidates have deep experience in de novo protein design , miniproteins , and binders engineering and are eager to push the boundaries of non-natural protein design in a fast-moving, data-rich environment.
