Hi Dr. Frederick,

I'm writing to let you know that the spin-off company I am presently employed, Panacos Pharmaceuticals, is hiring a research associate with a Bachelors Degree and 0-3 years experience. Preference will be given to individuals with HIV or RSV experience.

We are looking for an individual with cell culture/virus culture experience. This individual will likely report to my co-worker and will be involved in drug screening assays with HIV and eventually RSV.

The position will also involve isolation of PBMCs, ELISA assays, and other cellular assays. Must be willing to work with HIV (and RSV).

Currently Panacos has 4 employees, but is hiring several positions (PhD, AA, etc.) Its a great opportunity for someone who wants to start at the ground floor of a new company.

This position was posted in the Washington Post this past Sunday, but we've only received a few possible candidates.

Resume and cover letter may be faxed to: (301) 947-0795 or mailed to: Panacos Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 217 Perry Parkway, Gaithersburg, MD 20877, Attn: Human Resources.

I thought this could be a good opportunity for someone graduating fall quarter or a recent grad with some experience.

Thanks,

Sharon Polidoro
Research Associate
Panacos Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
