Job description



·  Job facts

Primary Purpose of Job
Collaborate with scientists and associates to support new drug discovery of immunology/oncology under minimal supervision by a PhD scientist.
Perform laboratory work, including but not limited to, assessing new drug target biology, screening and characterization of small molecule compounds for on-target and off-target effects, utilizing cell-free and cell based in vitro assays including using primary human immune cells.
Work with supervising scientist to design experiments, write experimental protocols, independently execute research plans, analyze all data, and report experimental data with high precision and accuracy.
Record experimental protocols and data in electronic lab notebook system in English.

Principle Roles & Responsibilities / Accountabilities

· 
Design and execute experiments in immunology, cancer biology, cell and molecular biology using cell lines and primary human and mouse cells with minimal guidance.

· 
Techniques include but not limited to immune cell isolation, cellular phenotyping, cell activation and differentiation and proliferation assessment, cytokine detection, qPCR, ELISA, Western blot, cell transfection, reporter cell line generation, molecular cloning, and generate knockout and knock-in cells in vitro using genome editing techniques.

· 
Under minimal supervision, independently establish and optimize in vitro biochemical and cellular assays; screen and characterize compounds using cell-free and cell-based assays including but not limited to study of drug dose response, MoA, cellular efficacy, cytotoxicity, etc.

· 
Work within team to study PK and PD relationship and therapeutic efficacy in relevant disease models.

· 
Proactively solve problems and bottleneck to move research projects (and/or new technologies) forward, and may serve as point of technical consultation in certain experimental techniques and/or operation of complex instruments.

· 
Other related duties as required, including but not limited to purchasing reagents and consumables, organizing and maintaining laboratory records, and ensuring laboratory safety.
