Description & Requirements The Broad Institute is an amazing place - we exist to apply our deep knowledge of human genetics to empower a revolution in biomedicine and accelerate the pace at which the world conquers disease. The Broad Institute's Center for the Development of Therapeutics (CDoT) partner with faculty at MIT, Harvard and the Harvard teaching hospitals to translate emerging biological insights into novel therapeutic strategies. We couple novel technologies and approaches to industry-standard drug discovery rigor to tackle some of the most challenging targets across a wide range of disease areas, specifically for this position, autoimmunity and IBD.
We are currently seeking a cell
biologist/pharmacologist
to join the CDoT Cell Pharmacology team. In this role, you will report to a research scientist and work across multi-disciplinary teams to drive the development and execution of novel cell-based assays to empower target validation, hit discovery and lead optimization. This includes target engagement and mechanism of action. Ideally, you will have experience using multiple assay formats in the context of drug
discovery/therapeutics.
Requirements * BS + 1-3 years experience in a relevant scientific area or MS in cell biology, chemical biology or related subject * Experience culturing cell lines of diverse lineage as well as deriving and maintaining cell lines * Experience in plate-based assays * Able to design and execute research plans to ensure that critical project requirements, timelines and deliverables are met * Molecular biology experience (e.g. PCR, western blotting, ELISA) is a plus * Able to present research plans and results to internal group as well as external collaborators * Able to work collaboratively, as well as independently | |
