posted 5 months ago
The Research Associate position at Alloy Therapeutics is a full-time role within the Translational Research team, which plays a crucial part in supporting drug discovery partners through in vitro and in vivo testing of therapeutic drug candidates. The team is dedicated to providing robust functional characterization of biologics, including monoclonal antibodies, multispecific antibodies, TCR-mimic antibodies, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-expressing cell therapies, and genetic medicines. As a Research Associate, you will be responsible for running validated assay systems to test therapeutic biologics, including antibodies and cell therapies, utilizing state-of-the-art high-throughput methods to evaluate the activity of novel biologics on human cells in disease-specific assay systems. In this role, you will also provide operational support to the Translational Research team, which includes tasks such as cell line maintenance, reagent generation and preparation, and inventory management. The position requires a mindset that embraces continuous learning and the ability to manage multiple independent projects simultaneously. You will report to a Senior Scientist and will have the autonomy to own various stakeholders, projects, and tasks in a dynamic start-up environment, contributing to the fast-paced culture at Alloy Therapeutics. The ideal candidate will have relevant experience in immunology, cell biology, molecular biology, or a closely related field, and will be expected to create functional data characterizing the disease-modulating activity of novel biologic therapeutics, investigate novel therapies, assess comparative activity of biologics, coordinate with team members, and communicate research results effectively.
