Alector is a biopharmaceutical company that develops therapies for the treatment of neurodegeneration diseases. Backed by GV.
About the role
As a Scientist on our Biology team, you will design and execute in vitro studies and analytical assays that help us evaluate potential therapeutics for neurodegenerative diseases. You will work with advanced cellular models, process in vivo and in vitro samples, and generate high-quality data that inform pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD), efficacy, safety, proof-of-concept (POC), and mechanism-of-action (MOA) studies. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- PhD in Neuroscience, Immunology, Biology, or a related scientific discipline
- Hands-on experience with cell culture, including iPSC-derived and/or primary rodent neuronal models
- Experience with biochemical and cellular techniques such as immunoblotting, ELISA, MSD, immunocytochemistry, flow cytometry/FACS, or immunohistochemistry
- Demonstrated ability to analyze and interpret experimental data and clearly communicate scientific findings
- You are an active user of large language models (LLMs) and have a strong interest in evolving AI technologies and how they can improve scientific research and productivity
- Experience working in a biotechnology or pharmaceutical research environment
More about this role
Our mission is to develop therapies that empower the immune system to combat neurodegeneration and our team is focused on developing treatments for some of the most challenging diseases facing our society. By harnessing advancements in genetics, immunology and neuroscience, we are pioneering the development of potential therapies to counteract the devastating progression of neurodegeneration. We are supported in this mission by experienced and accomplished scientists and clinicians, a novel portfolio of programs, leading healthcare investors, and pharma company partners, who share in our commitment to bettering the lives of patients and realizing a world where we make brain disorders history.
