Company Description

Teora is a next-gen biotech company on a mission to make the world sustainable, natural where we provide alternatives to harmful chemicals through completely natural products synthesized in cell factories. Our first goal is to replace the chemicals in food with natural and sustainable solutions. You know that microbes can make wonderful food additions such as yoghurt, we are using these same tiny microbes to make many different proteins, peptides that can replace harmful chemicals such as pesticides, antibiotics in a completely natural and sustainable manner, so we all can eat healthy food. https://www.teoralife.com/

Job Description

We are looking for a motivated and technically robust candidate to work on a 1-year project focused on modifying and optimizing production strains for high-level expression of high-value proteins. The project will involve strain engineering, clone generation, screening, and characterization to improve protein yield, expression stability, and reproducibility.




The goal of the project is to generate improved strain candidates capable of producing high-value proteins at enhanced levels for downstream research and development applications.
Key Responsibilities
- Review scientific literature and existing protocols related to strain engineering, recombinant protein expression, and host strain improvement.
- Design and execute strain modification strategies to enhance high-value protein production.
- Perform molecular biology workflows such as plasmid design, PCR, cloning, transformation, colony screening, and construct verification.
- Generate and screen modified strain variants for improved protein expression.
- Evaluate different expression constructs, promoters, signal peptides, copy number strategies, selection markers, or integration approaches, as relevant to the project.
- Characterize modified strains for protein expression level, genetic stability, reproducibility, and growth compatibility.
- Perform small-scale
