Senior Associate Scientist, in vivo Biology

Imagine a world where debilitating diseases can be cured through a one-time treatment regardless of a person's geographic location, closing the gap on the healthcare disparities that discriminate against those without access to a cure for their disease.
Imagine you are an instrumental member of an unstoppable, collaborative team that challenges the status quo to make things happen and are supported by a company culture that holds trust, authenticity, and team member development at its center to ensure the focus is on patients who are waiting for therapy.
We are seeking an independent and highly motivated Senior Associate Scientist to join our research and development team to conduct complex studies using animal models and ex vivo sample analysis to support development of novel therapeutics. In this role you will possess strong in vivo technical skills and a solid understanding of disease animal models in hematology/immunology field.
You will join a team of scientists dedicated to moving a novel gene therapy drug candidate into the clinic . Join us and be part of building a company revolutionizing the reach and access of the curative power of genomic medicines for patients with serious diseases.
Responsibilities:

• Conduct complex in vivo experiments using disease and immunocompromised mouse models.
• Perform primary cell isolation and culture.
• Execute in vitro and ex vivo cell-based assays.
• Manage internal and external mouse colonies.
• Analyze data and present results at group meetings and conferences.
• Contribute to publications and written reports for regulatory filings.
