Senior Associate Scientist — CAR-T & T Cell Immunology

We are seeking a highly motivated and innovative Senior Associate Scientist to join our discovery research team at Regeneron Cell Medicines. You will be performing immunological functional assays for analyzing genetically engineered human primary T cells (CAR-T or TCR T cells) from both early discovery programs as well as late-stage development programs' nonclinical studies that support regulatory submissions. We hope you are excited to be in a hands-on laboratory role in a fast-paced environment. As a Senior Associate Scientist, a typical day might include: Contributing to preclinical research and development of CAR/TCR T cell therapies in solid tumor indications Characterizing genetically modified primary human T cells via immunophenotyping using multi-color flow cytometry and molecular assays (PCR, library preps for NGS, RNA-Seq) Developing and performing immunological functional assays to assess immune cell activation, anti-tumor cytotoxicity, proliferation, and cytokine secretion to evaluate the efficacy of CAR and TCR-based T-cell therapeutics Designing experiments independently and contributing to the project direction Maintaining an electronic lab notebook and documenting experiment results Reviewing and presenting research data to the functional team This Role Might Be For You If You Have a can-do attitude, are curious, and excel in creative problem solving Can multi-task and manage time well Can quickly adapt to new research areas and implement new techniques independently Are scientifically rigorous, highly organized, and a self-starter with excellent attention to detail Have strong verbal and written communication skills Are self-motivated and enthusiastic about working in an interdisciplinary, collaborative research environment In order to be considered for this role, you must have at least a BS/MS in immunology, cell biology or related field and 3+ years of relevant experience.
