Job Description: Senior Scientist/Cell Biology
Do you want to grow a company that positively impacts the world? We are seeking a cell biologist with an extensive experience to join our drug discovery team. Responsibilities will include execution and analysis of in vitro cellular assays to support small molecule discovery efforts as well as understanding of mechanisms of action. This individual will work closely with scientists within the group and CROs and present their findings to the department and project teams. The ideal candidate will be self-driven, eager to learn new techniques, highly organized and enjoys working in a creative and dynamic team environment.
About us:
Aria Pharmaceuticals (formerly twoXAR Pharmaceuticals) is a preclinical-stage pharmaceutical company discovering and developing novel small molecule therapies for complex and hard-to-treat diseases. Too many patients today are in need of breakthrough treatments across many complicated diseases - they can't wait. That's why at Aria, we have redefined the drug discovery approach, saving years in the process and increasing success rates 30 times higher than traditional methods. At Aria, we've shown promise across a diverse range of therapeutic areas with the ability to address over 1,000 diseases.
