## About the role

As part of Genentech Research and Early Development (gRED), scientists bridge basic biology and translational drug discovery. In this role, you will design and execute research strategies using advanced retinal cellular systems to validate targets, elucidate disease mechanisms, and advance novel therapies. You will collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams to translate biological insights into therapeutic candidates and share your findings at internal forums and external conferences.

## What they're looking for

- Develop human iPSC-derived retinal models (such as RPE and photoreceptors) and design cell-based assays to validate novel targets, study AMD pathogenesis, and evaluate therapeutic candidates
- Quickly learn and implement new experimental workflows and analytical tools as project priorities evolve
- Maintain rigorous experimental design, meticulous electronic lab records, and high standards of data reproducibility
- Collaborate effectively with interdisciplinary teams across the department and broader gRED functional areas
- Communicate research findings clearly across internal project teams and at external scientific conferences
- Ph.D. in Stem Cell Biology, Neuroscience, Cell Biology, Developmental Biology, Ophthalmology, or a closely related scientific discipline
