Top Skills Required

• Cell based assay
• Flow Cytometry
• MSD
• Immunology
• Tissue culture

Purpose

Conceive and implement novel experimental approaches to address key scientific questions in peptide immunology. Strong and reliable executor in the lab to investigate, identify, and optimize new methods, assays, and techniques relevant to peptide therapeutic discovery and immunological mechanism of action. Contribute technical insights to projects, particularly in areas such as inflammatory pathways, immune cell trafficking, immune receptor modulation, receptor targeting, target density in tissues, and receptor occupancy.

This lab-based position supports both IND-enabling and early-stage discovery programs, as well as peptide platform research and innovation. It involves hands-on experimentation in autoimmune disease models and translational in vitro assays and includes developing novel assays to evaluate peptide therapeutics.

Responsibilities

• Laboratory Execution:
  Reliable and consistent executor of immunological experiments in the lab
• Autonomous Experimental Design & Troubleshooting:
  Independently design experiments and troubleshoot technical challenges with minimal supervision
• Immunological Assays & Complex Cellular Systems:
  Design and execute immunological assays (cytokine profiling, cellular potency assays, cell binding assays, PBMC & whole blood assays); utilize complex cellular systems; tissue culture required
• Data Analysis & Follow-Up Experiments:
  Analyze and interpret experimental data; design follow-on experiments
• Multidisciplinary Data Integration:
  Integrate in vitro, in vivo, molecular, and omics data to guide study progression
• Scientific Communication:
  Prepare technical reports and documentation; communicate findings via presentations and publications
• Cross-Functional Collaboration:
  
  Participate in cross-functional discussions with internal teams

Education & Experience:

• Bachelor's (10+ years), Master's (8+ years), or PhD (0 years) in Immunology or related biological science

Scientific Knowledge:

• Strong theoretical and practical knowledge of immunology and related biological sciences (e.g., autoimmune disease, oral delivery)

Technical Expertise:

• Experience with cell-based assays including primary human PBMC and whole blood assays
• Proficient in multi-color flow cytometry, cellular potency assays, cytokine-based assays
• Experience with MSD, ELISA, ICS staining
• Immune cell purification and isolation

In Vivo:

• Experience with rodent models (mice and/or rats), dosing, tissue collection, and processing

Experimental:

• Ability to design, execute, and troubleshoot complex experiments independently

Organization & Documentation:

• Strong organizational and meticulous documentation practices

Communication:

• Strong written and oral scientific communication

Team Collaboration:

• Ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams
