  • Develop and refine methodologies for immunophenotyping, flow cytometry, and cytokine release assays, evaluating cell therapy constructs.
  • Analyze and interpret complex data, generating insights to guide further engineering efforts.


Requirements


  • Ph.D. in Immunology, Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, or a related field, with 2+ years of relevant biotech or pharma experience
  • Hands-on experience with CAR-T or TCR-T cell development, ideally in preclinical settings within biotech or start-up environments.
  • Expertise in in vitro potency assays, functional assays, cytotoxicity, and cytokine release assays.
  • Proficiency in flow cytometry, immunophenotyping, and other cell-based assays to characterize engineered T cells.
  • Demonstrated ability to work independently, interpret complex data, and generate actionable insights.
  • Collaborative mindset, excellent communication skills, and ability to thrive in a dynamic start-up environment.
