  • Effectively design and conduct experimental work to align with Company priorities and meet scientific timelines, report results succinctly and effectively.
  • Design, conduct, analyse experiments to test safety and efficacy of soluble TCR bispecific molecules generated by the Protein Engineering team.
  • Dissect molecular mechanisms of T cell activation and T cell mediated killing by soluble TCR bispecific molecules, including deploying suitable assays and sourcing required cell lines, human organoids and primary human cells and tissue samples or developing suitable model cell lines expressing genes of interest.
  • Drive innovation and continuous improvement within the Cell Biology team, implementing novel technologies, workflows, and methodologies to enhance productivity and accelerate the drug development process.
  • Support an in vivo testing strategy via an outsourced model as required.
  • Present scientific findings and summary conclusions to your department, project team and the company leadership team.


Experience/Qualifications Required
