Our fast-growing pharmaceutical research client is advancing multiple programs toward the clinical stage and is looking for a strong bench scientist to help drive one key program forward.

Must-Have Experience

• Ophthalmology or retinal biology experience
• Strong mammalian cell culture and cell handling skills (including complex or primary cell systems)\
• Experience with GMP regulations in a Pharmaceutical or Biotech environment
• Cell proliferation assays
• In-vitro cell systems
• Independent proficiency running Westerns and qPCR
• Experience across multiple assay types (protein/RNA workflows and reporter assays)
• Clean ELN documentation
• Master's or PhD
• Experience with biologics and/or antibody therapeutics (preferred)
• Familiarity with WNT biology (preferred)

What You'll Do

• Validate therapeutic candidates in in vitro, cell-based assay systems supporting an ophthalmology-focused program
• Culture and handle a variety of mammalian cell types, including complex and primary cells (retinal cells a plus)
• Design and execute cell-based experiments to evaluate candidate activity, mechanism, and cellular responses
• Run multiple assay modalities, including:
  • Western blotting
  • Protein extraction
  • RNA extraction
  • qPCR
  • Reporter cell assays
• Analyze results, interpret data, and communicate findings clearly to cross-functional partners
• Maintain clean, thorough documentation in an Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN)
• Operate with a high level of independence while staying highly communicative and transparent with the team
