The Opportunity
We're looking for a hands-on translational researcher to drive biomarker discovery and translational studies across oncology, immunology, and in vivo pharmacology programs. You'll run molecular and tissue-based assays, manage sample workflows end to end, analyze resulting data, and work closely with cross-functional research teams.
The ideal candidate brings strong experience in qPCR, tissue processing, mammalian cell culture, and biomarker analysis. Background in IHC, multiplex IHC, immunofluorescence, spatial biology, or other tissue-based techniques is a strong plus.
Lead translational research studies spanning oncology, immunology, and in vivo pharmacology
Carry out RNA/DNA extraction, qPCR and RT-qPCR, gene-expression analysis, and sample prep
Run mammalian cell culture and support in vitro pharmacology work
Process and manage tissue samples for downstream molecular and histological analysis
Perform or coordinate IHC, multiplex IHC, immunofluorescence, spatial biology, and related biomarker assays
Support tissue-based molecular characterization using both internal platforms and external partners
Analyze data, keep precise experimental records, and communicate results clearly
Optimize, validate, and troubleshoot assays to strengthen quality and reproducibility
Partner closely with Translational Sciences, Biology, Pharmacology, and Biomarker teams
Help maintain lab compliance, inventory, equipment upkeep, and documentation
Bachelor's degree in biology, molecular biology, biotechnology, immunology, cancer biology, or related field
Hands-on expertise with qPCR/RT-qPCR, nucleic acid isolation, mammalian cell culture, tissue processing, and IHC
Comfort independently driving lab studies in a fast-paced, cross-functional setting
Experience supporting oncology, immunology, or early clinical development programs
Multiplex IHC, immunofluorescence, spatial biology, FFPE tissue, or digital pathology experience
Familiarity with translational biomarker development and PD assessments
Exposure to in vivo pharmacology and tissue-collection workflows
