Bangalore, India Loopworm Full time

About Loopworm

Loopworm is building the next frontier in recombinant protein production using our novel LoopBac™ platform — an optimised system that uses insects as miniature bio-factories instead of conventional cell culture methods. This game-changing technology enables complex protein production at a fraction of the cost and time.

We are on the verge of a major breakthrough, and we’re looking for a Senior Scientist – Bioinformatics to join our R&D team and single-handedly drive our bioinformatics initiatives . You will report directly to the VP of R&D and act as the central point of expertise across multiple verticals.

Key Responsibilities

You will be the go-to bioinformatics expert, collaborating with cross-functional teams to enable faster, more accurate, and cost-effective recombinant protein production:

  1. Protein Production Optimisation Team – Provide DNA, gene, or protein sequence insights for any new protein of choice; coordinate with contractual gene synthesis partners for gene sequence validation and codon optimisation .
  2. Genetic Engineering & Molecular Biology Team – Support comparative genomics and virus–host interaction studies to enhance the platform.
  3. Downstream Process Optimisation Team – Advise on recombinant protein–host protein interactions , protein tagging, and purification strategies.
  4. QA/QC & Assay Team – Recommend appropriate kits, antibodies, and assays through protein–protein interaction studies .

What are the problem statements you would be working on

  • Codon Optimisation for Novel insect host expression
  • Promoter & Enhancer Sequence Identification and Prediction
  • Viral Vector Stability and Sequence Optimisation
  • Post-Translational Modification (PTM) Mapping in novel insect host
  • In-Silico Screening for Expression Bottlenecks

Required Skills & Experience
