Alltrna is looking for a hands-on scientist to join our Nonclinical team, where we test how well our engineered tRNAs work across a range of preclinical disease models. The ideal candidate is a strong cell and molecular biologist who is detail-oriented, intellectually curious, and energized by being part of a collaborative, fast-paced, small-company environment.
Working closely with the Nonclinical team, this individual will select, develop, and optimize the assays we use to measure tRNA activity and efficacy. These include cell-based assays in primary cells and hepatocyte models to the RNA and protein readouts that support in vivo studies. The candidate will design, execute and analyze data that support platform expansion and drive early-stage programs into clinical development. This role will have opportunities to propose new ideas, collaborate with groups across the company and participate in broader data reviews and decision-making.
