Scientist (I, II) – Molecular and Cell Biology, Gene Therapy R&D
Company
Our client is an early stage, gene therapy company who have developed a breakthrough RNA technology for safe gene insertion into the genome. It has the potential to disrupt the gene therapy/gene writing landscape. They have recently closed a significant series-A funding round and are now working to advance the therapeutic into the clinic. We have a great work culture and a brilliant set of employees.
Job description
We are seeking a scientist with a background in molecular and cell biology and genetic engineering. As part of a team, this individual will be responsible for conceiving, designing, and executing experiments to discover cellular factors and/or innovate biomolecules that can be combined with our core RNA gene therapy platform.
Projects will initially focus on permanent, targeted gene insertion into the genome for treating liver disease. Collaboration with other research teams could allow findings to be applied towards immuno-oncology and infectious disease therapeutics.
About the Role
The day-to-day responsibilities of this role will include:
QUALIFICATIONS (Except for those labeled as required, some but not all listed items are necessary)
Our client is based in South San Francisco and offers a competitive salary package. As a growing company you'll have an impact on culture and dynamics with the opportunity to grow and develop. If this sounds like you, Apply today.
