Principal Research AssociateResearch Scientist, in vivo Pharmacology

About Us

Deep Genomics is at the forefront of integrating artificial intelligence and complex biology to transform drug discovery. Our proprietary machine learning platform decodes the complexity of RNA biology to identify novel drug targets mechanisms and therapeutics inaccessible through traditional methods. With expertise spanning machine learning bioinformatics data science genetics chemistry and drug development our multidisciplinary team in Toronto and Cambridge MA is revolutionizing how medicines are created.

About the Role

The Principal Research Associate / Research Scientist will join our in vivo Pharmacology team within the Platform Biology group and will be a key player in driving our cutting-edge AI RNA therapeutics discovery this role you will be responsible for helping lead in vivo therapeutic efficacy testing efforts of novel RNA therapeutics in various animal models. You will also support target validation therapeutic lead optimization and drug profiling through the implementation and execution of novel molecular assays to advance our internal therapeutics portfolio. The ideal candidate will have a strong molecular biology background with expertise in processing tissue samples as well as experience with rodent models. Relevant knowledge of RNA modalities such as ADAR ASO mRNA and / or siRNAs is also highly beneficial. The successful candidate should demonstrate initiative and be able to thrive in a dynamic work environment with cross-functional teams working together to achieve company goals. Title is commensurate with prior experience.

This position is onsite at our Cambridge MA site.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform standard molecular biology techniques in a consistent and reproducible manner (e.g. PCR qPCR ddPCR ELISA Western blot Jess / Leo capillary-based Western blot etc.).
• Support the development of novel molecular cellular and functional assays on animal samples for our internal therapeutic pipeline.
• Plan and execute in vivo rodent studies to enable drug discoveryCollaborate with a cross-functional team in a dynamic matrixed environment to achieve shared company deadlines.
• Clearly document experiments standard operating procedures (SOPs) and data in an electronic lab notebook (ELN).
• Communicate and present experimental design and findings with colleagues and project teams
