CEO and Co-Founder at GLOX Therapeutics Ltd.
Position: Laboratory Technician
Location: Glasgow – Two Year Fixed Contract
Glox Therapeutics is developing precision protein antibiotics to target bacterial pathogens that show high levels of resistance to conventional antibiotics due to the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). AMR is a major global public health crisis predicted to cause 10 million deaths per year by 2050 at a cost of $100 trillion unless new classes of antibiotics are developed.
Glox’s novel engineered protein bacteriocin antibiotics are designed to precisely target pathogenic bacteria without collateral damage to the microbiome. Maintenance of a healthy microbiome is essential to prevent AMR due to the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics.
We are currently seeking a highly motivated and capable Laboratory Technician with a proven track record of productivity, excellent communication skills, collaboration and an enthusiasm to work with our existing dynamic team in Glasgow and also support and collaborate with our team in Oxford. Please note, this is a Two-year fixed contract.
