Job Details
Summary:
We are seeking a self-motivated and ambitious individual to join the human anti-tumor T cell biology team in Oncology Research at Regeneron in Tarrytown, NY. The successful candidate will have a Masters degree in immunology or a related field as well as 3+ years of hands-on experience, and will work on a team that performs functional T cell assays on primary human blood and tumor immune cells. The work will mainly support clinical immune monitoring of samples from patients who are receiving immune modulating cancer therapies.
Key experimental approaches include both direct ex vivo analysis as well as in vitro immune cell culture. The candidate will be responsible for developing and executing functional assays on clinical materials using high-parameter flow cytometry and single cell sequencing. Previous hands-on experience with functional T cell assays and read-outs (antigen re-exposure assays, ELISPOT, multimer staining, functional flow cytometry) is desired.
The position also involves multi-color flow cytometry and cell sorting for downstream analysis. Preference will be given to candidates with bioinformatic data analysis expertise.
Responsibilities:
- Expertly perform primary human immune cell co-cultures
- Perform antibody and multimer staining for multiparameter flow cytometry
- Independently operate high-parameter flow cytometers and cell sorters
- Perform high-throughput T cell screening to determine antigen-TCR pairing
- Collaborate with other internal research and clinical teams to jointly develop and advance technology-forward methods to evaluate human anti-tumor T cell function.
- Independently develop and execute primary human immune cell functional assays.
- Independently design multicolor flow cytometry panels and perform analysis.
- Independently perform primary cell sorting.
Requirements:
- Minimum of 3 years of experience in T cell biology
- MS or BSc in immunology or related discipline preferred
- Minimum of 3 years of hands-on technical experience in tissue culture, with preference for primary cell culture experience
- Strong written and oral communication skills
- Experience working in cross-functional teams
- Prior experience with cell sorting preferred.
- Prior experience with high-throughput immunological screening and single cell sequencing including TCR sequencing is preferred.
