About this role

Scientist I/II, Drug Delivery Chemistry Cambridge, MA USA Your Impact at LILA We are seeking a Scientist (II) to join our Physical Sciences team. This role will focus on assisting in the design and development of a high throughput chemical synthesis platform, with emphasis on medicinal chemistry and drug delivery applications. The ideal candidate will have experience synthesizing, analyzing, and optimizing novel molecules to build out structure-activity relationships for a library of compounds. This position will work closely with others across the chemistry, formulations, engineering, machine learning, and data science teams to help establish next-generation tools for therapeutic development and drug delivery. Your work will bridge the physical sciences and bioanalytical domains, enabling high-throughput experimentation for closed-loop optimization of organic compounds. What You'll Be Building - Design, synthesize, and optimize novel lipids, small molecules, and other combinatorial chemistry compound libraries for drug delivery applications - Design and deploy high-throughput synthesis strategies, build automated assay platforms, and develop innovative approaches to interrogate large chemical spaces - Partner closely with chemistry, computational, and automation teams to establish structure-activity relationships for compound libraries to guide iterative design strategies - Implement data-driven approaches to analyze screening outputs and guide iterative molecule design. - Work with and manage projects with CDMOs for research-grade synthesis, with considerations towards scale-up of lead compounds - Establish best practices for screening data quality, reproducibility, and assay robustness. - Collaborate across disciplines to translate screening hits into validated chemical starting points for therapeutic programs. What You'll Need to Succeed -
