Job Details
JOB PURPOSE
We are seeking a passionate and detail-oriented laboratory scientist with experience in mammalian or pluripotent stem cell culture to join a growing cell differentiation team. Under the supervision of a Senior Director, the scientist will be responsible for daily tasks involving the growth, differentiation, and characterization of pluripotent stem cells in scalable 3D differentiation models to support a cell-based therapeutic program. This role will establish the methods and parameters for scaling a cell therapeutic product to support preclinical studies, and work closely with the cell manufacturing team to adapt the methods for clinical scale.
