Cell Biology Scientist
About The Position
Eurofins PSS is seeking a passionate and dedicated experimental Cell Biology Scientist. The candidate will work directly on the client site in Cambridge, MA and will collaborate with scientists from multiple therapeutic areas (Immunology and Neuroscience) to validate targets, drug candidates, and biomarkers with the objective to generate high throughput multi-modal data sets for companion diagnostic and biomarker discovery efforts across Immunology. The candidate will utilize various cytokine profiling platforms, including but not limited to, Olink, MSD, and Nomic to identify secreted protein signatures from healthy and diseased donors. The focus of the role will be to design and execute differentiated iPS-derived immune cell types for use in cell-based assays and to incorporate into intestine and skin organoid model systems for the client Immunology team. The candidate will support the client’s dynamic and innovative early discovery research environment and will be expected to work both independently and collaboratively with colleagues. This is a hands-on position. The ideal candidate shall have excellent lab skills, strong documentation skills, ability to analyze and summarize data to draw conclusions, and make recommendations.
