Discover Your Role
- Develop, optimize, and qualify cell-based potency assays to support gene therapy programs.
- Execute qPCR, ELISA, Western blot, and related molecular or cell-based assays with attention to detail and reproducibility.
- Maintain adherent and non-adherent mammalian cell cultures, including engineered/stable cell lines.
- Operate instruments such as flow cytometers, plate readers (SpectraMax, EnVision), and other automated systems.
- Analyze data using appropriate statistical methods; document experiments/results/conclusions in the ELN.
- Present findings in group/cross-functional meetings; contribute to assay troubleshooting and technical decisions.
- Support sample testing for preclinical manufacturing process and product characterization.
- Help transfer qualified assays to GMP laboratories.
This Role Requires
- Bachelor’s with 3+ years relevant lab experience, or Master’s with 0–2 years.
- Hands-on cell-based assay experience, preferably including potency assays.
- Experience with qPCR, ELISA, and CE-Western blotting.
- Strong mammalian cell culture skills; ability to execute experiments independently and reliably.
- Exceptional organizational skills; ability to multitask across workflows in a fast-paced environment.
Preferred
- mRNA expression measurement by qPCR; luciferase reporter assays; immunofluorescence staining/imaging readouts; automated imaging or plate-based analytical platforms; GraphPad Prism.
