Cambridge, United States Repertoire Immune Medicines Full time
Job DescriptionJob DescriptionRepertoire Immune Medicines is a biotechnology company working to unlock and direct the remarkable power of the human immune system to treat cancer, autoimmune disease, and infectious disease. The company was founded on the belief that understanding the repertoire of T cell receptor (TCR)-antigen immune synapses that maintain health and drive disease represents one of the greatest opportunities for innovation in medical science. Repertoire scientists created and developed the DECODETM platform, which allows in-depth characterization of TCR-antigen pairs, and the ability to deploy this information in the form of novel targeted immune medicines to fundamentally reprogram the immune system to kill tumors or induce immune homeostasis.

From its sites in Cambridge, Massachusetts and Zurich, Switzerland, Repertoire’s team is advancing a pipeline of DECODE-enabled immune medicines, such as TCR bispecifics and mRNA cancer vaccines for treatment of solid tumors and mRNA tolerizing vaccines for treatment of autoimmune diseases.
Repertoire was founded by Flagship Pioneering and is supported by a strong investor base. In addition, the company recently entered into a strategic partnership with Bristol Myers Squibb to develop tolerizing vaccines for up to three autoimmune diseases. 

On Site in Cambridge 5 Days per Week

  • Integrate new technologies and assays to deliver improved assay readouts. 
  • Culture and maintain primary immune cells and tumor cell lines. 
  • Work as a valuable member of the cross-functional immunology project teams.
  • Support general lab operations with reagent preparation, instrument maintenance, and adherence to lab safety procedures.
  • Maintain and implement good laboratory practices, including accurate electronic laboratory notebook entries, instrument and reagent validation, and personnel safety precautions.
  • Use strong verbal and written communication skills to share scientific and project updates to the inter-disciplinary research team.   
Qualifications/Experience

  • Propagation and banking of tumor cell lines. 
    • Hands-on experience with processing mouse tissue samples and establishing ex vivo cultures.
    • Flow cytometry using panels of >4 colors. 
    • Immune cell functional assays such as cytotoxicity, immune cell priming, expansion, activation, and cytokine readouts (ELISA and MSD).
    • Collaborative work within and across teams interfacing with both internal and external members. 
    • Accurate data recording and archiving in ELNs.
  • Additional expertise in the following areas is a plus:
    • Experience in assays including Western blotting, IF/IHC for microscopy imaging.
