Building on your background in immunology you will apply your skills in a regenerative medicine setting, working collaboratively with project leaders, in vitro and in vivo scientists and therapy area specialists to ensure efficient progress of Cell Therapy projects and to drive our scientific capabilities. The role is focused on laboratory-based activities and you will use your scientific expertise to design and execute experiments and to deliver high quality data.
You will play a leading role in developing our scientific capabilities and presenting your work both internally and externally, working in a highly cross disciplinary environment with local and international colleagues.
In this role it is essential to have good social and communication skills, be collaborative and a strong team player. You should be able to work independently, take own initiatives and have a positive, goal oriented and problem-solving attitude. Accountabilities include:
Design and execute experiments to generate high quality, relevant data
Independently assess and report data to support project decisions and milestones
Communicate and share relevant information between distinct projects within the bioscience department as well as across other functions and externally
Keep up to date with relevant scientific literature and technology platforms as well as writing and publishing scientific papers
Ph.D. in Cell Biology or a related discipline, or a MSc degree with relevant academic or industrial experience.
Strong background in immunology, hands-on experience with developing CAR-T, NK, Treg or other immune cell therapy development preferred
Proficiency in assays interrogating immune cell function, such as cellular activation, cytokine release, proliferation, cytotoxicity, multi-parameter flow cytometry, ELISA/MSD.
Experience with immune cell expansion protocols strongly preferred.
Preferred to have experience editing primary immune cells (e.g. CRISPR technology, Lenti-viral transduction).
Good scientific presentation skills and ability to comfortably present and discuss scientific data.
Good communication skills, a collaborative mindset and a strong team player.
Ability to work independently, take own initiatives and have a positive, goal-oriented and problem-solving attitude.
