Associate Scientist, mRNA Platform Analytical Development

Associate Scientist, mRNA Platform Analytical Development

Proficiency in generating and interpreting qPCR and RT-PCR data setsProficiency with capillary electrophoresis (preferred Sciex PA800 Plus system), Agarose gel electrophoresis, and/or TapeStation analysisProficiency with ELISA workflowsExperience working with, storing, and analyzing purified nucleic acids We are seeking a highly motivated Associate Scientist to work in a fast-paced P&AD environment applying rigorous scientific principles towards developing a platform process for producing mRNA. As a part of the Gene Delivery and Editing Process Development (GDEPD) organization, the ideal Associate will possess sufficient experience in analytical method development of biological molecules, with a high preference for any experience with developing analytical methods for measuring mRNA impurities, quality attributes, and expression in cells. A successful Associate will directly employ biophysical, analytical, and cell assay techniques to develop our next-generation gene edited therapies. In this capacity, the Associate will design and execute analytical methods for mRNA molecules to enable robust ex vivo studies. An outstanding candidate will be driven by a desire to create, optimize, and define processes with speed in a collaborative environment.
