Key Responsibilities:
- Develop and optimize cell-based potency assays (cell killing, proliferation, cytokine production) for engineered T cells and NK cells
- Leverage advanced gene-editing technologies (CRISPR/Cas, RNAi) to develop and optimize potency methods that both assess the functional efficacy of engineered cell systems and evaluate the effectiveness of gene-editing strategies
- Ensure analytical methods meet ICH/USP qualification standards and support regulatory filings
- Conduct, analyze, document laboratory experiments, and maintain detailed records
- Support assay transfer and training activities with internal and external teams
- Collaborate cross-functionally and with partners to drive GxP-qualified method development
- Oversee lab operations, including inventory and equipment maintenance
Qualifications:
- Ph.D. (0–2 years), MS (2-4 years) or BS (5+ years) in Immunology, Cell Biology, Bioengineering, or related field
- Experience with ELISA/MSD, Luminex, qPCR, flow cytometry, and/or similar tools
- Strong cell culture, data analysis, documentation, and communication skills
- Excellent organizational skills and the ability to thrive in a dynamic environment
The starting compensation for this job is a range from $111,060 - $134,600, plus incentive cash and stock opportunities (based on eligibility).
