Job Details

Description:

Fate Therapeutics Process Development group is seeking a collaborative, self-driven and highly skilled Principal Scientist with expertise in Cryobiology, Process Development, or Immunology to join a team dedicated to the development of best-in-class off-the-shelf induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC)-derived cellular immunotherapies. The successful candidate will be part of a cross-disciplinary team to evaluate, develop and implement a robust cryopreservation platform for Fates best-in-class iPSC-derived NK and T cell drug products. This is a full-time laboratory position reporting to the Director, Process Development and is located at our corporate headquarters in San Diego, CA.

Responsibilities:

  • Prioritize and characterize Cryopreservation Critical Process Parameters (CPP) for iPSCs and iPSC-derived cells
  • Design, perform and interpret experiments to delineate the effect of cryopreservation on iPSC- derived NK and T cell recovery, proliferation and functional potency both in vitro and in vivo
  • Investigate, develop and implement novel strategies, technologies and materials using statistical approaches such as Design of Experiments (DOE) to optimize the cryopreservation formulation and method to ensure the consistent recovery of highly-potent iPSC-derived NK and T cell drug products
  • Demonstrate proficiency in routine immune cell analytics, statistical analysis and presentation of analysis
  • Serve as cryopreservation SME on cross-functional teams including PD, MSAT, R&D, AD and QC to support early and late stage clinical development
  • Author and review technical reports detailing experimental work and summarizing results for QA and Regulatory filings
