Responsibilities

Contribute to the development of a proprietary gene-editing enhancement platform for both in vitro and in vivo applications.
Screen engineered protein variants using a fluorescence-based reporter assay to identify compact, enhanced versions that retain function.
Apply computational structure-prediction tools to aid in the design of engineered protein variants.
Evaluate a modified, DNA-nicking version of Cas9 to determine if it reduces unwanted genomic effects while maintaining editing efficiency.
Perform basic molecular biology techniques including polymerase chain reaction (PCR), cloning and subcloning, and western blotting.
Conduct mammalian cell culture techniques, such as sterile technique, passaging, and transfection or electroporation.
Work with viral vectors and flow cytometry methods.
Document experimental procedures and results using tools like Excel and Prism.
