## About the role

Before any of our CNS gene editing programs can move toward the clinic, we need to see in tissue where an editor went, whether it reached its target, and what it did there. This role produces that evidence. You’ll run and quantify the histology assays on rodent and non-human primate tissue that our program teams use to decide what moves forward. This role reports to the Senior Scientist, In Vivo Pharmacology. It is on-site in Cambridge, typically 4-5 days per week. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Develop, optimize, and run IHC, IF, and ISH/RNAscope assays on preclinical CNS tissue
- Process, stain, and image CNS tissue from rodent and non-human primate studies
- Quantify assay readouts in image analysis software such as HALO, QuPath, or ImageJ/Fiji
- Generate the histology data used to assess biodistribution, target engagement, pharmacodynamic activity, editing outcomes, and safety
- Analyze and graph results in GraphPad Prism and summarize them clearly for project scientists
- Plan histology endpoints and tissue readouts for in vivo studies with the study lead
