Position Title: Associate Scientist, In Vivo Pharmacology
Reports to: Associate Director, In Vivo Pharmacology
Company Background:
Century Therapeutics is developing novel allogeneic living cell products for oncology that overcome the limitations of current cell therapies. Century's genetically-engineered, universal iPSC-derived immune effector cell products are designed to specifically target hematologic and solid tumor cancers. Our commitment to developing off-the-shelf cell therapies will expand patient access and provide an unparalleled opportunity to advance the course of cancer care.
Century's foundational technology is built on induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) that have unlimited self-renewing capacity. This enables complex cellular engineering to produce controlled cell banks of modified cells that can be expanded and differentiated into desired immune effector cells, which can supply vast amounts of allogeneic, homogeneous therapeutic products. This platform differentiates Century from other approaches that utilize non-renewable donor-derived cells.
Role:
The Associate Scientist, In Vivo Pharmacology, will support the development of iPSC-derived immune effector cell therapies for cancer research. The Associate Scientist is responsible for regularly collaborating with other functional areas within Century to enable the successful and timely execution of in vivo studies. The ideal candidate will be highly motivated and organized, with the ability to execute multiple experiments in parallel. S/he will have exceptional proficiencies in rodent in vivo laboratory techniques and animal handling, be self-motivated and flexible, and have a strong willingness to work in a team environment to successfully execute in vivo oncology studies. Experience with oncology cell therapy is desirable. Knowledge of in vivo imaging and the principles of ex vivo/in vitro assays are a plus.
