Scientist - T Cell Engineering

We are seeking a highly skilled Scientist to join our Discovery Research team at a biotechnology start-up developing a synthetic biology platform for in vivo cell engineering. The successful candidate will be responsible for designing and implementing novel strategies for delivering genetic algorithms to cells, with a focus on treating genetic diseases, autoimmune disorders, and cancer.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Design and execute a wide range of experiments, technical studies, and tasks, working independently based on protocols and in line with departmental objectives.
  • Assay engineered delivery vehicles using flow cytometry, western blot, ELISA, and immunofluorescence.
  • Develop novel genetic constructs for use in T Cell engineering and implement their design.
  • Develop robust T Cell engineering platforms for quantifying delivery vehicle potency and T Cell functionality assays to determine their functionality and efficacy post-engineering.
  • Liaise with programme leaders and matrix team members for data exchange and cell culture/experimental planning.
  • Timely, accurate recording and analysis of results and compliance with data integrity procedures.
  • Timely presentation of data to the department and wider company.
  • Contribution to critical interpretation of data to draw results-driven hypotheses, with influence on project/function direction.
Requirements:
  • PhD with experience in T Cell biology (or equivalent experience gained in industry).
  • Knowledge of T Cell differentiation, subtypes, transcription factors involved, and their relevance to function.
  • Experience handling and culturing a range of cell lines.
  • Experience with lentiviral vector design, production, and transduction of T Cells.
  • Preferably, experience with CRISPR-based editing of primary human T Cells, both KO and KI.
  • Experience with genetic approaches for quantifying T Cell engineering outcomes.
  • Experience with assays of T Cell functionality and potency, especially in the context of CAR-T.
  • Strong experience with flow cytometry-based assays.
  • Experience with single-cell sequencing assays would be a benefit.
  • Fluency in spoken and written English.
  • Meticulous in record keeping, and able to keep track of and co-ordinate large numbers of ongoing projects.
