We are currently seeking a highly motivated and passionate scientist to join our team in Immunology Discovery based in Cambridge MA. This lab-based individual will be responsible for cellular/molecular functional assays to support novel target identification/validation and early portfolio programs within GI immunology. The scientist is expected to read and adapt scientific literature and internal protocols to accomplish assignments and demonstrate broad and versatile technical expertise within immunology. The position requires ability to work independently, deliver reliable results in a timely manner, have excellent technical, written and oral communication skills and work very well in a collaborative team environment.

Key responsibilities

• Independently develop, execute and analyze functional assays using human cell lines and primary cells for screening molecules and testing hypothesis.
• Perform advanced molecular and cellular biology techniques (including but not limited to FACS, ELISA, MSD, HTRF) to measure cellular activation, differentiation and effector molecule production.
• Isolate, culture or differentiate immune cells (PBMCs, T cells, myeloid cells) from human and mouse blood products or tissues.
• Require minimum supervision for established protocols and routine methods.
• Implement and innovate new experimental protocols/techniques as needed.
• Analyze, interpret, document and report data consistently, concisely and rigorously, both to individual stakeholders and in group settings.
• Demonstrate scientific excellence through dedication to multiple projects with different priority requirements in a fast-paced multi-disciplinary environment,
• Impact projects mostly through lab-based activities
