About us

Bindbridge is pioneering sustainable agriculture through artificial intelligence (AI)-powered molecular glue discovery. With backing from leading venture capitalists including Speedinvest and Nucleus Capital, we are building a computational platform to bring targeted protein degradation to agriculture. Our first goal is to discover herbicides that revolutionise crop protection while minimising environmental impact.

The role

We are seeking a biologist to join our team and play a pivotal role in the discovery and experimental validation of novel crop protection products. You will work at the intersection of plant science, computational chemistry, AI, and agricultural innovation, helping solve some of the world's most pressing food security challenges.

Key responsibilities

• Review and synthesise academic literature and recommend protein targets for degradation across agricultural applications (herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, traits).
• Design and oversee experimental assays with contract research organisations (CROs) to validate the efficacy and safety of candidate molecules.
• Apply bioinformatics (phylogenetics, proteomics, plasmid design) to guide target selection and evaluation.
• Collaborate with AI engineers and chemists to integrate biological insights into degrader design and discovery pipelines.
• Engage with customers and partners on target selection, assay development, and result interpretation.
• Build relationships with academic collaborators to expand the scope of applications.
