Randall Bettman

• Helped lead antibody discovery efforts and make critical engineering decisions for multiple pipeline projects
• Led several antibody engineering projects to optimize environmentally-conditional binding properties through iterative design
• Designed and implemented time-saving and throughput-boosting tools for assay development and workflow for all teams within the organization
• Developed and validated kinetics and characterization assays for novel therapeutics with non-conventional binding modalities
• Mentored and trained junior scientists in assay techniques, design, reasoning, and best practices
• Created slide decks, figures, promotional material, and more to present data and ideas to team members, investors, and partners.

• Became sole performer of all projects' qualitative assays including ELISAs, Octet, Western Blot, HTRF (TR-FRET)
• Quickly promoted from Research Associate to Senior Research Associate
• Summarized and presented experiment and project results to a global team
• Worked on many different projects simultaneously, each with unique objectives and strategies
• Achieved project objectives by troubleshooting experiments and tailoring assay methods on a per-project basis
• Implemented and optimized assays and strategies that became standard practice in all customer projects' workflow
• Optimized workflows by creating standardized SOPs and macro-enabled spreadsheets for data collection and organization
• Prepared and formatted raw experiment data in customer-facing documents

• Harvested and processed B-cells from tissues gathered in murine dissections
• Generated and cultured hybridomas for the scale production of ensuant monoclonal antibodies
• Handled thawing, culturing, and freezing of up to 150 concurrent hybridoma cultures
