Scientist​/Senior Scientist - Cellular Immunology

Scientist / Senior Scientist – Cellular Immunology (Cell Therapy)

We’re partnered with a cutting-edge biotech developing next-generation cell therapies, focused on enhancing the precision and efficacy of engineered T-cell responses in complex disease settings.

This is a highly hands-on, lab-first role — ideal for someone who wants to be at the bench, driving experiments and contributing directly to preclinical therapeutic development.

You’ll join a fast-moving R&D team working across T-cell biology, assay development, and cell therapy optimisation, playing a key role in generating high-quality data to support early-stage programmes.

This role sits at the intersection of immunology, cell engineering, and translational science.

• Design and execute mammalian cell culture experiments, including primary immune cells
• Develop and optimise functional and potency assays to evaluate engineered T-cell responses
• Run and analyse:
• Flow Cytometry (immunophenotyping)
• ELISA / cytokine release assays
• Western Blot
• Perform cytotoxicity, proliferation, and activation assays to assess T-cell function
• Support preclinical development of cell therapy candidates
• Contribute to experimental design, troubleshooting, and data interpretation
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams across biology and translational research

• MSc or PhD in Immunology, Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, or related field
• Proven industry experience within biotech or pharma
• Mammalian cell culture
• Flow Cytometry
• ELISA / Western Blot
• Experience working with T-cells (essential)
• Exposure to CAR‑T, TCR‑T or cell therapy platforms (highly desirable)

• Cytotoxicity assays
• Cytokine release assays
• Comfortable working in a lab-intensive, fast-paced environment

• Experience supporting preclinical / early-stage therapeutic development
• Background in immuno-oncology or solid tumour biology
• Exposure to high-throughput or screening-based workflows
• Prior experience in a start-up or scale-up biotech

• Join a well-funded, high-growth biotech
• Work on next-generation cell therapies with real clinical impact
• Be part of a lean, high-performing scientific team
• Strong scope for ownership, progression, and scientific input
