Scientist I

Responsibilities :The Scientist I will be a vital contributor to our non-viral cell and gene therapy delivery platform, primarily focused on R&D for innovative nucleic acid payload technologies. This role involves evaluating novel mRNA and DNA designs using a range of molecular biology techniques, including plasmid cloning, in vitro validation, and the production of in vitro-transcribed mRNA. To verify successful expression, the scientist will utilize assays such as Western blot, qRT-PCR, and luciferase reporter assays. Design and clone expression vectors and IVT donor plasmids to support research initiatives.Execute DNA and mRNA transfections in mouse and human cell lines.Assess nucleic acid expression through molecular methods like qPCR, reporter assays and Western blotting.Maintenance of detailed electronic laboratory notebooks (ELN) and preparation of summary slides
