Scientist - Immunology

Company Overview:

Prellis Biologics is a dynamic startup revolutionizing immunology. We develop cutting-edge technologies to unlock the immune system's potential and drive innovation in therapeutic development.

Position Overview:

We're seeking an enthusiastic and talented immunologist to play a pivotal role in advancing our groundbreaking in vitro immune system platform. You'll collaborate closely with a multidisciplinary team to develop innovative lymph node organoids, design and execute impactful in vitro assays, and contribute your expertise to in vitro immune process development and antigen/antibody biomolecular engineering.

Responsibilities:

• Develop human lymph node organoids and design/execute in vitro assays to build an ex vivo immune system.
• Employ novel techniques to stimulate and characterize immune cell responses.
• Leverage your immunology knowledge to contribute intellectually to the development of in vitro immune processes and antibody responses.
• Collaborate effectively across disciplines to achieve project goals.
• Be hands-on in the lab (60-80% of the time) and thrive in a fast-paced environment.

Qualifications:

• PhD in immunology, cell biology, or a closely related field with 3+ years of relevant industry and/or postdoc experience.
• knowledge of adaptive immunology, in particular B and T cell biology.
• understanding of cell-cell interactions, and ligand-receptor signaling pathways.
• Expertise in experimental design, data analysis, and interpreting complex immunological data sets.
• Extensive immunology lab experience, including flow cytometry (panel design, data acquisition, analysis, troubleshooting).
• Proficiency in primary cell isolation and culture, and in vitro assay development/execution.

Skills & Experience (Preferred):

• Knowledge of immune tolerance, vaccine development, and systems immunology.
• Project management expertise.
• Experience with bioinformatic analysis of proteins and sequences.
• Familiarity with molecular biology techniques.
• Experience developing and implementing laboratory systems.
• Proficiency in FlowJo, GraphPad Prism and DOE software.

Plusses:

• Demonstrated scientific progress with first-authored publications in peer-reviewed journals.
