The position requires ability to work independently, have excellent technical, written and oral communication skills and work very well in a collaborative team environment.
Responsibilities:
  • Develop and execute cell-based functional assays using cell lines and mammalian tissue primary cells, for key readouts including cell activation, differentiation and effector molecule secretion.
  • Perform advanced molecular and cellular biology techniques (including but not limited to FACS, ELISA, MSD, HTRF).
  • Isolate and culture immune cells (T cells, myeloid cells) from human and mouse tissues.
  • Work independently on the design, execution and interpretation of experimental results to validate hypotheses related to the project need.
  • Implement and innovate new experimental protocols/techniques as needed.
  • Analyse, interpret, document and report data consistently, concisely and rigorously, both to individual stakeholders and in group settings.

  • Experience with human PBMC functional assays and/or immune cells (T cells and myeloid cells) is required.
  • Experience in immunoassays including multi-colour flow cytometry and ELISA (or MSD, HTRF) is required.
  • Experience with mouse tissue processing for immune profiling (not direct mouse handling) is a plus but not required.
  • Knowledge of DNA/RNA handling and other molecular biology techniques like PCR and qPCR is a plus but not required.
  • Ability to learn new skills and apply them in a fast-paced research environment.
  • Creativity, problem-solving, and attention to details.
  • Excellent oral and written communication and collaboration skills.
  • Ability to work independently as well as in a team.
