Senior Scientist, Cytometric Profiling

The Profiling & Expression department within Translational Medicine helps bridge Discovery and Development programs in multiple therapeutic areas through expertise in multimodal molecular analysis of tissues and model systems. We are a platform-based functional group leveraging a close partnership of pathologists, gene expression scientists, image analysis specialists, assay developers, and data scientists to contribute to target validation, generation of quality mechanistic data, and the discovery and development of response and pharmacodynamic biomarkers with line of sight to the clinic. The Cytometric Profiling group within the Profiling & Expression department leverages high dimensional flow cytometry for target expression analysis, target engagement assay development, and pharmacodynamic biomarker discovery predominantly using primary human tissues. The successful candidate will focus on the Immunology therapy area by profiling therapeutic targets of interest in primary human healthy and disease tissue using high-dimensional flow cytometry. Indications relevant to this work include autoimmune, inflammatory, atopic, and fibrotic diseases. Profiling data will support preclinical and early clinical program development as well as translational efforts in Immunology or other therapy areas as needed. This position requires a proactive, innovative, organized, and detail-oriented scientist who can work collaboratively across multiple functional areas to support the development of our company's pipeline. Job responsibilities include the following: Independently designing and executing properly controlled experiments for deep profiling of primary human tissue using flow cytometry in a BSL-2 laboratory environment Developing flow cytometry-based preclinical biomarker assays Representing the Cytometric Profiling group in team meetings while actively engaging with stakeholders across the Research and Development Division's network Presenting results at lab, team, or department meetings Maintaining a detailed, complete, and compliant laboratory notebook Help supporting daily operations of FACS core lab QUALIFICATIONS:
