Responsibilities Include

Lead and oversee research projects at the intersection of molecular genomics and cell therapy, from conceptualization to execution and data analysis.
Design and optimize molecular biology protocols tailored to the specific requirements of cell therapy applications, including but not limited to gene editing, gene expression analysis, and single-cell genomics.
Implement state-of-the-art NGS technologies and bioinformatics tools to characterize genomic profiles and assess genetic stability for CABA-201 product.
Analyze genomic data sets to identify gene expression profiles, genetic variants, and signaling pathways in CABA-201 product associated with therapeutic outcomes and potential adverse effects.
Collaborate closely with cell biologists, immunologists, bioinformaticians, and clinical researchers to integrate genomic insights into the development and optimization of cell therapy products.
Generate and communicate research findings through presentations, scientific publications, and contributions to regulatory documents.
Stay abreast of emerging technologies, methodologies, and scientific literature in the fields of molecular genomics and cell therapy, and apply this knowledge to advance research objectives.
Provide technical guidance, mentorship, and training to junior scientists and research associates within the team.

Required Qualifications

MS with degree in Molecular Biology, Genomics, Cell Biology, Immunology and 3-5 years of relevant experience or Ph.D. or equivalent degree in Molecular Biology, Genomics, Cell Biology, Immunology, or a related discipline with 2-4 years of experience.
3-5 years of hands-on experience in molecular biology techniques relevant to cell therapy, such as gene editing (e.g., CRISPR/Cas9), lentiviral transduction, and cell culture.
Proficiency in next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies and associated data analysis tools, including variant calling, RNA sequencing, and single-cell genomics.
Demonstrated expertise in the application of genomic approaches to study cell therapy products, assess genomic integrity, and evaluate therapeutic efficacy.
Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret complex genomic data sets and derive actionable insights to inform therapeutic development.
Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively in interdisciplinary teams and present scientific findings to diverse audiences.
Track record of scientific publications in peer-reviewed journals showcasing contributions to the field of molecular genomics or cell therapy.
Prior experience in project leadership, including experimental design, project planning, and supervision of research activities.
Knowledge of regulatory requirements and quality standards relevant to cell therapy research and development is advantageous.
