VelocImmune (VI) Next is a technology development group at Regeneron focused on engineering and discovery of novel protein, gene, and cellular therapies. We are seeking a motivated, highly organized researcher to build and support our cell therapy and antigen discovery pipelines. This is an opportunity for a researcher with strong molecular and immunology skills to contribute to the development of industry-leading technologies and medicines.

As a Researcher within the VI next team, a typical day might include:

• Conducting and supporting experiments, independently and collaboratively, investigating novel antibody and cell-based therapeutics.

• In vitro analysis and screening of candidate engineered cellular therapies in immunoassays, including flow cytometry, ELISA/EliSpot, MSD, cytoxicity, and activation assays.

• Maintaining, manipulating and analyzing of mammalian cells, including primary cells, using Crispr/Cas9, transfection, and viral vectors.

• Assisting in the development and analysis of mouse models for engineered cell therapies.

• Supporting testing of candidate therapeutics in vivo (mouse).

• Constructing DNA vectors, viral vectors, and cell-lines for in vitro and in vivo studies of candidate therapeutics from the VelocImmune and VelociT pipelines.

• Careful, thorough, and timely record keeping, data summarization, and presentation of results in formal and informal settings.
