Cell Reprogramming Scientist

Job Description

Seeking Research Scientists (at all levels) with experience in Cell Reprogramming, Stem Cell Biology & Regenerative Medicine.

We are a newly established biotech startup located at the heart of London; our company is dedicated to advancing the understanding and application of epigenetic modifications and cell reprogramming techniques to develop ground-breaking therapies and treatments. With a team of world-class researchers and state-of-the-art facilities, we are committed to pushing the boundaries of science to revolutionise the fields of regenerative medicine and rejuvenation. We are focusing on innovation, collaboration, and excellence to position ourselves as a leading player in the biotech industry, and we are excited to partner with new members of our team to help bring life-changing therapies to people in need.

These positions will enable successful applicants to join an international network of biomedical scientists using innovative approaches to tackle major, unmet challenges in ageing and rejuvenation. The positions offer access to world-leading institutions, including University College London, for the study of mechanobiology, healthcare engineering, cell reprogramming, and regenerative medicine. We are looking for highly motivated researchers, either with a PhD or industry experience in molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry or similar. Research experience in transcription regulation and functional genomics using animal and/or human pluripotent stem cells is desired. Hands-on skills in epigenetic techniques such as ATAC-seq, ChIP-seq, or CUT&RUN and genome editing approaches such as Genome editing tools such as CRISPR/Cas9 are meriting.

Roles: Research Scientist (At all levels from Associate to Principal)

Salary: Highly Negotiable DOE + Benefits Package

Location: London (Based on-site)

The ambitious candidate should be driven to develop research projects using cutting-edge technologies and techniques including:

• Molecular Biological techniques, including RT-qPCR, Western blotting, ELISA, and immunofluorescence.
• Perform transfection using a variety of techniques, including electroporation, lipofection, and viral transduction.
• Perform cellular techniques, including 3D cell culture in hydrogels or on scaffolds as well as microfluidic devices.
• Perform live-cell or immunohistochemical imaging using light microscopy, including confocal fluorescence imaging.
• Keep organised laboratory notebooks and protocols that can be shared between labs to standardise experimental techniques and to prepare and submit research manuscripts for publication in peer-reviewed journals.
• Work effectively as a team member within the lab and collaborate with local and international partners.

Essential Experience:

• Possess a PhD in molecular cell biology, biochemistry, or a closely related field.
• Demonstrate mastery of basic molecular and cellular techniques.
• Have experience in transfection techniques, live-cell fluorescence imaging,
• Have a publication record that demonstrates innovation, rigour, and productivity.
• Demonstrate the ability to take leadership of (or participate in) collaborative projects, especially those involving multiple groups.

Desirable Experience:

• Practical experience and strong record in either of cell reprogramming or stem cell biology or regenerative medicine.
• Expertise in the culture of primary cells and IPSCs
• Expertise in gene editing and/ or gene silencing techniques
• Expertise in imaging & confocal microscopy
