Associate Scientist, Obesity, Muscle and Metabolism

Role: Associate Scientist supporting therapeutics development for muscle diseases within the Obesity, Muscle and Metabolism group. Primary objectives include developing cellular and tissue engineering assays, validating molecular and functional readouts, and contributing to muscular dystrophy, myopathy, and myositis research. Responsibilities encompass cell culture, generating engineered muscle tissues from primary or iPSC-derived cells, optimizing assays, and performing mouse procedures such as blood and tissue sampling. Data analysis using software like ImageJ, FlowJo, and Prism is also involved. Qualifications: B.S. or M.S. in relevant fields with 1-2 years in muscle biology or related disciplines; proficiency in tissue culture, cell-based assays, flow cytometry, histology, and mouse handling preferred. High-value specifics include focus on muscle tissue engineering, disease modeling, and molecular assessments pertinent to therapeutic discovery. The role emphasizes collaboration across teams and is suited for an organized, detail-oriented individual interested in innovative, team-driven environments. Work setup: not explicitly specified, but typical for laboratory-based research roles.
