About the role
We are in the discovery stage and will invest heavily in our emerging platform for oligonucleotide delivery. Our disease focus is supported by highly predictive animal models with strong translatability to humans, offering a potentially rapid and efficient path to the clinic. Given our recent funding and commitment to building a first-in-class platform, we are recruiting a Scientist / Senior Scientist, Biology and Pharmacology to lead and execute in vitro and in vivo pharmacology across our programs. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Demonstrated scientific leadership of in vitro and in vivo pharmacology projects in discovery and/or preclinical research and development, including study designs and interpretation that informed project decisions
- Exceptional scientific aptitude: sharp critical thinking, sound experimental judgment, and the agility to learn new biology quickly across disease areas
- Strong hands-on skills in tissue processing and analysis (RNA and protein extraction, RT-qPCR, immunoassays, histology/IHC/ISH), mammalian cell culture in cell lines and primary cell models, and cell-based assays, with a record of establishing new methods
- Track record managing CRO-executed in vivo studies: vendor qualification, protocol alignment, budget and timeline management, and critical evaluation of external data, non-human primate study experience is a plus
- Hands-on rodent experience (dosing, in-life assessment, terminal collection) sufficient to design realistic protocols and challenge a CRO
- Sound professional judgment: works independently, prioritizes across concurrent studies, and knows when to escalate
