Advancing breakthrough therapeutics through the purposeful integration of science and engineering. Backed by Lux.
About the role
We are seeking an enthusiastic and highly motivated Senior Scientist I to join our Neuroscience research team. In this role, you will be a key contributor to our efforts to identify and validate novel therapeutic targets for Parkinson’s disease. You will develop and apply complex cellular models and biochemical and cell-based assays to advance target validation and deepen our understanding of disease-relevant mechanisms.
What they're looking for
- Lead and support target validation and mechanism-of-action (MOA) assay development activities
- Execute in vitro experiments in cell lines, primary neurons, iPSC-derived neurons, and glia culture
- Build and execute biochemical and cell-based assays to support novel Parkinson’s disease target validation
- Collaborate with and support cellular and molecular biologists, in vivo pharmacologists, and medicinal chemists across research sites
- Support the training and guidance of junior research associates and interns, fostering a collaborative and productive research environment
- Stay up to date with the latest advancements in Parkinson’s disease research by attending relevant conferences and workshops
More about this role
Eikon Therapeutics is a new biopharmaceutical company employing revolutionary technology at the intersection of chemistry, engineering, computation, and biology to discover novel treatments for life-threatening diseases. Eikon’s discovery platform is built on groundbreaking innovations from its founders (Nobel Prize, 2014), culminating in the creation of microscopes which enable real time, molecular-resolution measurements of protein movement in living cells, thereby unlocking otherwise intractable classes of proteins as drug targets.
