Contract Research Associate-Mammalian cell culture
About The Position
InduPro, Inc. is bringing life-changing therapies to patients through novel cell-surface platform technologies. We are defining and manipulating protein interactions beyond natural signaling paradigms. InduPro platforms integrate inherent protein proximity at the cell surface with the ability to manipulate protein pairings via induced protein proximity to create novel signaling pathways and logic gates. Our culture fosters innovation at every level. We are seeking a highly motivated contract Research Associate (1, 2 or Sr.) to support mammalian cell culture, plasmid DNA production, and transient transfection efforts. This is a bench-focused role, ideal for someone who can independently execute routine and complex cell culture workflows in a fast-paced R&D environment. You will work closely with cross-disciplinary teams in a dynamic and collaborative environment.
Requirements
- Bachelorâs degree with 1+ years of hands-on experience in mammalian cell culture
- Demonstrated experience with transient transfection workflows
- Experience preparing transfection-grade plasmid DNA
- Strong aseptic technique and understanding of cell culture best practices
- Excellent organizational and documentation skills
Responsibilities
- Maintain and expand mammalian cell cultures (e.g., HEK293, CHO) including routine passaging, cryopreservation, and cell banking
- Perform transient transfections for recombinant protein expression and cell-based assays
- Prepare high-quality, endotoxin-free plasmid DNA (mini-, midi-, and maxipreps) from bacterial cultures for transfection
- Monitor cell health, viability, and growth kinetics
- Perform routine cell-based assays (e.g., viability assays, titer estimation, expression screening)
- Maintain accurate and detailed experimental records in electronic lab notebooks
- Support inventory management of cell culture reagents and maintain aseptic technique and biosafety compliance
- Contribute to SOP development and workflow optimization as needed
Benefits
- Every member of the InduPro team plays a role in shaping our science and our culture in a dynamic startup environment.
- We offer a competitive total compensation package, including stock options, participation in an annual performance bonus incentive program, a comprehensive benefits package, paid time off, and exciting opportunities for professional development.
