JOB DESCRIPTION

The Viral Delivery Technologies group is seeking an independent and highly motivated scientist to support the development of novel gene therapy viral platform. This role involves conducting research activities around the design, characterization, and validation of novel Adeno-associated virus vectors in vitro and in vivo. You will work closely with therapeutic groups to expand upon our antibody-retargeted viral vector platform for gene therapy applications by developing the efficacy and tissue specificity of vectors.

As a Sr. Assoc Scientist, a typical day might include:

  • Design, execute, analyze, and troubleshoot in vitro and in vivo experiments to characterize and validate new antibody target receptors and viral vector constructs.

  • Execute and optimize rAAV production protocols for further developing our understanding of AAV biology to inform novel vector development

  • Run cell-based assays to characterize the infectivity efficacy and specificity of novel AAV vectors.

  • Perform basic molecular biology techniques (Cloning, Western blotting, DNA/RNA extractions, PCR, RT-PCR, quantitative PCR, etc.), biochemical/immunological assays (ELISA, flow cytometry).

  • Work closely with therapeutic groups to identify targets, design in vivo experiments, evaluate vector biodistribution, and develop therapeutic applications of retargeted viral vectors.

  • Evaluate candidate antibodies to target tissues of cell types of interest for viral gene delivery.

  • Coordinate with CROs to evaluate candidate viral vectors in non-human primate models.

  • Participate in team meetings and preparation of regular presentations for departmental meetings.

This role may be for you if you:

  • Enjoy working in an innovation driven, highly collaborative and fast paced environment.

  • Can effectively balance multiple projects independently across multiple subjects.

  • Have excellent communication skills and strong work ethics

  • Have keen attention to detail.

This position requires at minima a Master’s degree or Bachelor's degree with 2 years’ experience in Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, cell biology, Virology or related field. Qualified applicants should have relevant experience in molecular biology techniques, mammalian cell culture, manipulation and purification of viruses or proteins, development of cell-based assays for detection of reporter proteins, and use of antibodies for various applications. Previous experience with AAV production and manipulation, in vivo delivery and characterization of viral vectors, as well as familiarity with key antibody properties will constitute distinct advantages. Level will be commensurate with experience
