We seek a highly talented and motivated contract researcher to join our Oncology Reverse Translation (ORT) team, which aims to translate clinical and biomarker data into new biological insights and therapeutic targets. This role will report to a Principal Scientist in ORT and involve close interaction with a highly cross-functional team including experimentalists, bioinformaticians, pathologists, biomarker scientists, and clinical scientists.
Responsibilities:
1. Plan, develop, and perform human PBMC and cell line-based immunological assays.
2. Generate and validate cell lines via overexpression, knockout, and other engineering strategies.
3. Perform some molecular biology (Western blots, qPCR).
4. Participate in and contribute to team meetings by presenting experimental plans and
results.
5. Publish scientific and methodological results in high quality journals.
Who you are:
