Position Overview
The Obesity, Muscle and Metabolism group is seeking a highly motivated Associate Scientist to support the development of therapeutics for muscle diseases. This role involves joining a productive and collaborative team working on treatments for muscular dystrophies, myopathies, and myositis, with the opportunity to engage in cutting edge tissue engineering, disease modeling research as a part of our discovery efforts.
This is a lab-focused role suited for a bench scientist with a strong foundation in cell biology and physiology, as well as experience in cell culture and tissue engineering. You will be developing assays for validating molecular and functional readouts for our therapeutic programs.
As an Associate Scientist in the Obesity, Muscle and Metabolism group, your typical day might include:
+ Maintaining, expanding, and modulating cells in vitro
+ Generation of engineered muscle tissue from primary or iPSC-derived progenitor cells
+ Optimization o...
