  • Analyze data and contribute to complex technical reports and team meetings.
  • Contribute to and author module 3 documents, including analytical procedure development and validation of analytical procedures necessary for IND submissions.
  • Develop procedures and protocols for the genetic, transcriptomic, proteomic, and functional characterization of pluripotent stem cells and their derivatives.
  • Qualify and validate product-specific assays to determine identity, purity, and potency of PSC-derived products, including various cell-based assays, flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, ELISA, and ddPCR.
  • Prepare complex technical reports, including SOPs, test methods, and method development reports.
  • Lead the transfer of assays to the quality control (QC) team and external contract manufacturing organizations as needed.
  • Contribute to team and company presentations.
General Laboratory Roles

  • Maintain well-organized and up-to-date records of all research activities, including writing detailed protocols, technical reports, and developing appropriate documentation for processes.
  • Provide scientific and technical supervision to junior staff or contract manufacturing organizations for defined projects.
  • Maintain a detailed laboratory journal, summarize results, and create presentations for internal group meetings.
  • Exemplify scientific curiosity and deep expertise with relevant literature and cutting-edge technologies to advance research directions.
  • Work with other members of the research team and process development team to accomplish company goals.
  • Follow all safe laboratory practices and company policies.
Required Qualifications
  • PhD with 2 years of molecular and cellular assay development in the biotech industry, or MS in Biology, Molecular Biology, or similar with 5+ years of related experience, or BS with 10+ years of related experience.
  • Experience in the development and validation of cell-based assays and flow cytometry assays to assess major cell populations detected in several differentiated PSC-derived products.
  • Expertise in designing and executing experiments to determine assay performance, including specificity, accuracy, precision, linearity, range, reproducibility, and robustness.
  • Experience in developing assays that use methods such as flow cytometry, qPCR, and ddPCR, immunoassays, and/or next-generation sequencing.
  • Experience writing technical documents for assays, including SOPs, test methods, and method development reports.
  • Demonstrated ability to work in a dynamic environment as a team player and committed to completing projects within timelines.
  • Experience in writing technical documents for assays, including SOPs, test methods, and IND-ready documentation for submission to regulatory authorities.
  • Proficient in analysis, presentation, and documentation of scientific data, as well as preparation of scientific reports.
  • Effective communicator with excellent interpersonal skills.
  • Strong project management and organizational skills, with the ability to prioritize and multitask.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Desired skills include stem cell culture experience and computational biology.
  • Knowledge of PSC manufacturing principles, risk assessments, Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls (CMC) principles.
  • Experience with PSC, with practical familiarity with stem cell differentiation protocols.
  • Knowledge of R, Python, Bionano instrument, and FlowJo.
