R&D Associate, Cell Line Technologies

We are seeking a R&D Associate to join the Protein Expression Sciences team. This individual will be responsible for generating manufacturing grade clinical cell lines for production of therapeutic antibodies to support the Regeneron pipeline. 

In this role, a typical day may include: 

• Utilizing state of the art mammalian expression technologies to generate regulatory compliant stable cell lines

• Performing techniques such as aseptic cell culture handling and transfection of cell lines

• Executing of flow cytometry assays and operating liquid handler platforms (Hamilton) to analyze stable cell lines

• Performing general molecular biology and protein biochemistry techniques e.g., PCR, RT-PCR, plasmid sub-cloning, isolation of genomic DNA and RNA from CHO cells, SDS-PAGE, western blotting

• Accurately and consistently recording experimental methods, materials, and results in electronic laboratory notebooks

This role may be for you if you:

• Have excellent oral and written communication skills and exhibit meticulous attention to detail

• Enjoy working in a fast passed environment

• Are eager to learn and implement new techniques, and work as a team to facilitate development of antibody therapeutics

To be considered for this role, you must have a Bachelors and 1-4 years of relevant experience. We need someone who is proficient in mammalian cell culture techniques such as aseptic cell culture handling and transfections. You should have experience with general molecular biology techniques such as PCR, RT-PCR, DNA sequencing, plasmid sub-cloning, isolation of genomic DNA and RNA from cells. Experience in using flow cytometry is desirable, as is experience in operating liquid handlers. Strong oral and written communication skills are essential.
