Associate Scientist, Analytical Development

Responsibilities Conduct research to support development of tissue-based regenerative medicine products for pulmonary hypertension and other lung diseases. Fix, cut, stain, and image lung sections (cryopreserved sections or precision cut lung slices); render 3D images/models of vasculature and airway structures to analyze lung recellularization outcomes. Develop, optimize, and execute methods for staining, imaging, slide scanning, and image analyses of thick cut lung sections. Develop, optimize, and execute live cell imaging studies. Implement experimental strategies to meet R&D objectives; apply scientific knowledge/literature to plan experiments and generate hypotheses and conclusions. Analyze/summarize tissue engineering outcomes by vascularization and alveolarization using 3D imaging. Perform molecular biology assays (e.g., histology, immunofluorescence, ELISA, western blot) to evaluate cell health, distribution, and phenotype. Develop and implement new techniques/protocols for lung scaffold recellularization and characterization. Coordinate technology transfer; coordinate sample shipment to CROs/vendors as needed. Author/update lab procedures under GLP-like conditions; record data in in-house data systems; manage materials/reagents. Follow lab safety procedures and universal precautions for biohazard materials. Minimum Requirements 5+ years relevant industry experience with a Bachelor’s degree (or 3+ years with a Master’s, or PhD) in cell/molecular biology, biomedical engineering, biomedical sciences, or related. 4+ years imaging-based analysis experience (IHC, cryo imaging, precision cut lung slices). 1+ years bioanalytical assays experience (flow cytometry, ELISA, qPCR). Ability to independently follow protocols; proficient with lab instrumentation/data analysis software; excellent verbal/written communication; self-motivated. Proficient with MS Office (Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint); collaborative; work well cross-functionally. Preferred Qualifications Master’s/PhD in relevant field. 1+ years industry experience developing biologics (cells/cell-derived products) for therapeutics. #J-18808-Ljbffr Scorpion Therapeutics
