·     Conduct and optimize phenotypic and functional characterization (including single cell spatial transcriptomics) of genetically engineered human iPSC-derived 3D organoids

·     Develop scale-up processes for automated generation of programmable liver organoids from patient derived iPSC cells

·     Successfully execute and document laboratory procedures and experiments with attention to detail

·     Coordinate tech transfer from esteemed academic institutions

·     Other duties as assigned


 

EDUCATION, EXPERIENCE AND SKILLS REQUIREMENTS:


·     Ph.D. in developmental/stem cell biology, synthetic biology, biomedical engineering, chemical engineering, biochemistry, molecular biology, or related field

·     1+ years of biopharma industry experience or comparable academic experience

·     Extensive experience with human iPSC culture, differentiation, organoid development and phenotypic/functional characterization protocols

·     Broad knowledge and expertise in molecular and cell biology including molecular cell cloning, genome editing and synthetic biology

·     Experience with viral (retroviral, lentiviral, HSV, AAV) and non-viral (long ssDNA, long dsDNA, RNP, mRNA) gene delivery systems

·     Experience with genome editing technologies, including recombination and HDR of large transgenes (>10 kb) in iPSCs

·     Working knowledge of human immunology

·     Experience with genetic and acquired liver disorders

·     Dedicated, hard-working, and dependable

·     Strong communication, writing, and data presentation skills

·     Ability to work in a fast-paced team-oriented, multidisciplinary environment



ADDITIONAL PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:


·     Experience with highly multiplexed flow cytometry and FACS

·     Experience with antibody / bead-based cell selection systems

·     Experience with systems biology and computational modelling
