Job Description

We are seeking a highly skilled, passionate, and motivated scientist to join our diabetes research team. This position will play a key lab-based role in advancing iPSC stem cell engineering and contribute to the development of the next generation of islet cell therapies.

Responsibilities:

  • Enable and advance iPSC gene editing, cell line development, and evaluation of differentiated cells.
  • Perform routine iPSC cell culture, passaging, and media preparation.
  • Optimize workflows for iPSC CRISPR-based gene editing, gRNA screening, and delivery.
  • Develop and perform assays for on-/off-target analysis using PCR and NGS workflows.
  • Generate clonal gene-edited iPSC lines and characterize them via flow cytometry, ddPCR, dPCR, and qPCR.
  • Culture and execute routine directed differentiation of human iPSCs to pancreatic islets, performing assessments such as cell counts, viability, and metabolite analysis.
  • Assist scientists in evaluating and designing mitigation strategies to ensure genomic stability of iPSC lines and drug substances.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally to support the transfer of R&D assays to GMP environments.
  • Maintain accurate and detailed experimental records, synthesize results, prepare reports, and present findings in meetings.
  • Contribute to the development and refinement of SOPs.
  • Execute work plans efficiently and meet established deadlines.

Qualifications:

  • BS or MS in Stem Cell Biology, Cell Biology, Bioengineering, or a related field.
  • 3+ years of relevant industry experience for MS candidates, or 5+ years for BS candidates.
  • Extensive hands-on experience with human iPSC culture, gene editing, and molecular biology techniques.
  • Proficiency in gene editing and cell line development, including protocol optimization and flow-based sorting.
  • Hands-on experience with delivery methods for gene editing tools.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively in a collaborative team environment.
  • Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail in record keeping.
  • Experience in pancreatic islet directed differentiation is highly desirable.
  • Experience in transitioning research-grade processes to GMP-grade is highly desirable.
