How You Will Achieve More With Intellia:

Responsible for planning and executing complex experiments that address critical time-sensitive goals within projects. Execute standard suppression assays and standard T cell activation assays. Analyze T cells by flow cytometry, quantify cytokines in supernatants using ELISA and MSD. Use lentivirus to transduce primary human T cells. Day to day activities include planning experiments that address the individual goals of the team. Establish new assays, which includes titrating the reagents and cellular components to achieve an optimal signal to noise ratio. Design the experiment to include the proper positive and negative controls and critically interrogate the relevant question. Critically evaluate the latest scientific literature and combining newly acquired information with their wide range of experimental techniques to provide a workplan. Responsible for independently executing the experimental plan, analyzing the resulting data and presenting the findings. Position is fixed based in Cambridge, MA office; however, telecommuting from a home office location is allowed.
