We utilize cutting-edge genomic techniques to transform human genetics data into drug targets and to identify pathogenetic mechanisms.
We apply high-throughput functional genomic screening approaches to in vitro and in vivo preclinical models with diverse molecular and phenotypic readouts.
We focus on patient centric models, developing various tools utilizing induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) derived cell types.
We perform hypothesis-driven research for target validation and execute mechanistic studies utilizing these complex models.
We have an exciting opportunity for a talented and highly motivated Scientist to join our collaborative team of geneticists, molecular and cellular biologists, and computational biologists.
Applicants should have broad laboratory research experience using cell and molecular biology techniques.
Open communication and curiosity are essential.

Responsibilities:
Perform routine cell culture work to maintain and expand cell lines, including induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).
Perform differentiation of iPSCs towards cell types of interest (e.g. retinal cells, immune cells).
Perform CRISPR/Cas functional genomics research based on lentiviral and RNP delivery methods.
Participate in cross-functional target identification and validation projects to support early drug discovery efforts in immunology and ophthalmology.
Develop cell-based functional assays relevant to disease biology.
Perform arrayed and pooled CRISPR screens using fluorescent cell sorting and high content imaging assays.
Collaborate extensively with scientists across diverse functional and therapeutic areas in a matrixed research environment.
Communicate and present project designs and results clearly, both to individual stakeholders and in group settings.
Perform routine managerial tasks within the lab, such as coordinating maintenance schedules, liaise with facilities sustain operations, organize lab-wide.
