R&D Specialist (Immuno-oncology)

We are seeking an experienced R&D Specialist to join the human anti-tumor immunology team in the Vaccine Technology group. You will get to help develop and perform phenotypic and functional assays on patient samples. This work will support clinical immune monitoring and exploratory assays on clinical biomarker samples collected from patients who are receiving Regeneron’s cancer therapies.

Our goals of the work are 1) to understand how our cancer therapies are working in our patients, 2) to identify features of productive anti-tumor immune responses, and 3) to study mechanisms of immune evasion.

• Independently design high-parameter flow cytometry panels

• Collaborate with multiple teams to achieve shared project goals

This role might be a good fit for you if:

• You are excited to develop & advance new technologies evaluating anti-tumor T cell function

• You enjoy working with primary cells, cell culture and performing functional assays

• You like to participate in cross-functional projects that involve multiple teams
