Biochemist / Biophysicist
- SUMMARY: Biochemistry PhD with 4+ years of research experience in protein chemistry and biophysics; collaborative team member with strong communication skills and interest in drug discovery.
- RESEARCH SCIENTIST, NovaHelix Biotech (2024-Present): Expressed and purified recombinant kinases and protein domains (E. coli, insect cells); optimized purification protocol to improve yield and purity and supported downstream biophysical characterization (SPR, DSF).
- GRADUATE RESEARCHER, Northeastern University (2019-2024): Investigated enzyme inhibition mechanisms using steady-state kinetics and ITC; developed a fluorescence-based binding assay for small-molecule screening and analyzed data in GraphPad Prism and Python.
- PROJECT HIGHLIGHT: Modeled conformational changes of a membrane-associated enzyme using molecular dynamics (GROMACS) and compared simulations to CD spectra; findings were shared with collaborators and used to guide next experiments.
- PUBLICATIONS & PRESENTATIONS: Co-authored 2 peer-reviewed papers and presented posters at ASBMB 2022 and Biophysical Society 2023; contributed to a patent disclosure (pending review).
- TECHNICAL SKILLS: Protein expression/purification (FPLC), SDS-PAGE/Western blot, enzyme kinetics, ITC, SPR, DSF, CD, fluorescence spectroscopy, qPCR, basic cell culture, Python, R, Excel, ELN (Benchling).
Overview
- Add quantified outcomes (yield, purity, kinetics, assay performance) to show impact and rigor.
- Clarify scope and ownership (what you led vs. supported; scale, throughput, decisions influenced).
- Tighten and tailor technical skills to biochemistry/biophysics priorities; remove or contextualize peripheral items.
Suggestions
Rewrite to include scale, baseline vs. improved performance, and the specific changes made. Example: "Optimized Ni-NTA -> SEC purification for 12 kinase constructs; increased average yield from X to Y mg/L and purity from A% to B% (SEC + SDS-PAGE), enabling SPR/DSF characterization within 48 hours of expression."
"Improved yield and purity" is a key accomplishment for biochemists, but without numbers, constructs, or methods it reads as generic and the scope is unclear.

"optimized purification protocol to improve yield and purity and supported downstream biophysical characterization (SPR, DSF)"
Add assay format, throughput, quality metrics, and what decisions it enabled. Example: "Developed 384-well fluorescence polarization binding assay (Z' = 0.7); screened N compounds and confirmed hits with ITC, informing go/no-go for lead series."
Biophysics roles value assay robustness and decision impact; specifying throughput and Z' (or CV, S/B) demonstrates you can generate reliable screening data.

Make your ITC/kinetics work more concrete by naming the target class and reporting representative parameters. Example: "Measured Ki (range X-Y) and kcat/Km changes across 6 inhibitors; fit competitive vs. mixed models in Prism/Python and reported uncertainties (95% CI)."
Stating measurable outputs (Ki, Kd, kcat, Km) and analysis approach signals experimental and quantitative competence typical for biochemist/biophysicist postings.

"Investigated enzyme inhibition mechanisms using steady-state kinetics and ITC"
Specify what you personally delivered (setup, parameterization, analysis) and connect to an experimental outcome. Example: "Ran 3 x 500-ns MD simulations (CHARMM36) and identified loop stabilization; designed 2 mutants that shifted CD signal by X% and improved thermal stability by Y C."
The current bullet mentions sharing findings but not your ownership or an experimentally validated result, which weakens the credibility of the modeling contribution.

"Modeled conformational changes... compared simulations to CD spectra; findings were shared with collaborators and used to guide next experiments."
Reorder and trim skills to emphasize core biophysics techniques and add proficiency context; move less-relevant items to "Additional." Example: "Biophysics: SPR (Biacore), ITC (MicroCal), DSF; Protein: FPLC (AKTA), SEC-MALS; Analysis: Python (pandas, numpy), Prism."
A long, flat list makes it hard to see your strongest fit for biophysicist roles; grouping by domain and naming instruments/software improves scan-ability and credibility.
