Boston, United States Verve Therapeutics, Inc. Full time
Job DescriptionJob DescriptionThe Company

Verve is a clinical-stage genetic medicines company established with a mission to solve the global health epidemic of cardiovascular disease. Founded by world-leading experts in cardiovascular medicine, human genetics and gene-editing, Verve is pioneering a new approach to the care of cardiovascular disease, potentially transforming treatment from chronic management to single-course gene editing medicines. The company's initial three programs – VERVE-101, VERVE-102, and VERVE-201 – target genes that have been extensively validated as targets for lowering low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), a root cause of cardiovascular disease. VERVE-101 and VERVE-102 are designed to permanently turn off the PCSK9 gene in the liver and are being developed initially for heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) and ultimately to treat atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) patients not at goal on oral therapy. VERVE-201 is designed to permanently turn off the ANGPTL3 gene in the liver and is initially being developed for homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) and ultimately to treat patients with refractory hypercholesterolemia. In 2023, Verve was named a Top Place to Work by The Boston Globe for the third consecutive year. Verve is headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts.

The Position

Verve is seeking a Senior Research Associate/Research Associate in Cell Biology and Potency Analytics to support analytical method development and testing of mRNA and gRNA oligonucleotide drug substances and drug products across all stages of development.

  • Author Standard Operating Procedures (SOPS), test methods, and generate qualification protocols and reports.
  • Other duties as assigned.

  • Previous experience in gene therapy method development and/or qualification is a plus.

  • Excellent interpersonal and collaborative skills, and the ability to work independently and effectively in a highly dynamic environment.
  • Comfortable communicating highly technical information.
  • Strong attention to detail, critical analysis of data/reports, and sound troubleshooting abilities.
