Eurofins PSS is seeking a highly motivated Research Associate to support our client located in Boston, MA. This individual will support the client’s In Vitro Toxicology group, where a team of toxicologists and safety pharmacologists work to design human and preclinical animal in vitro models to support prioritization and de-risking of novel therapeutic agents throughout the drug discovery and development process.

The ideal candidate will have a strong scientific background in the culture and maintenance of human cells, such as human iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes, to model tissues and organs for drug screening and mechanism of action experiments to support drug discovery projects. Proficiency in various molecular and cellular technical skills is required. The applicant must be a demonstrated team player, adaptable to changing needs, and able to work closely and responsively within their team.

This candidate will work closely with client stakeholders from several functional areas, including toxicology, chemistry, DMPK, and research. Excellent communication and people skills are required.

Key Responsibilities:

• Culture of complex human cellular models for drug screening and proof-of-mechanism studies
• Contribute to the development and implementation of in vitro assays to support the selection and de-risking of potential drug candidates through close interactions with discovery toxicologists, medicinal chemists, and research functions
• Conduct and report results from the tiered strategy toxicological profiling experiments
• Work closely with cross-functional teams to conceive, develop, and deploy bespoke organotypic investigative/screening assays to better inform on potential safety liabilities
