As a Tissue Imaging Scientist (Cell Therapy), you will play a pivotal role in delivering high quality imaging data, employing core histology and advanced molecular techniques, involving immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence and in situ hybridisation method development and antibody characterisation to support projects. You will be involved in the delivery of the histology component of early investigative in vivo safety studies, working with local imaging hub lead, pathologists and study directors to deliver data to required quality standards and timelines. In addition, you will provide experienced application of imaging technologies to advise on efficacy of new therapies.
The role
As a Tissue Imaging Scientist (Cell Therapy) you will;
- Lead design of tissue imaging endpoints, primarily with histological and molecular pathology based techniques and provide general and hypothesis-driven scientific advice on specific topics to the team
- Have a strong understanding of the practices, principles and concepts associated with a variety of study types using both histological/molecular pathology techniques and other tissue imaging technologies within the group
- Understand the CPSS Cell Therapy strategy and develop appropriate imaging methods to support the delivery of project goals. Work closely with the CPSS Cell Therapy Safety Lead and with individual project teams
- Analyse and report the data you produce, with little or no guidance, in a clear and concise manner, to colleagues and stakeholders
- Maintain a knowledge internally and externally of new trends in tissue imaging technology, experimental techniques/equipment and introduce new methods and instrumentation as required and agreed with the Imaging & AI Leadership Team
- Manage your work to ensure that agreed targets are met to agreed timelines and quality standards
- Contribute to the objectives of the department through active participation in department and cross-functional project teams/meetings, ensuring that work is performed in accordance with appropriate Safety, Health & Environment (SHE), quality and compliance standards.
