See who GenEdit has hired for this role
GenEdit is a rapidly growing, early-stage company that is developing a proprietary and novel delivery platform with the potential to transform genetic medicine. Our interdisciplinary team works together across chemistry, payload design, formulation, and screening and preclinical groups to develop the next generation of gene therapies. GenEdit fosters an exciting and dynamic environment where we value impactful data and creative solutions to accelerate our progression from platform technology to a pipeline of therapeutic candidates. We are seeking talented and motivated individuals to join our team and are expanding across all functions within the organization. Join us in South San Francisco, CA, to be at the forefront of the future of gene therapy.
Job Description
This position will report to the Principal Scientist in the Product and Process Development team, who is leading our efforts to develop and apply DNA barcoding technologies for efficient and high throughput measurement of non-viral vector distributions across organs, tissues and cell types in small and large animals. This barcoding technology will be part of GenEdit’s platform program to screen in vivo and identify hydrophilic nanoparticles (HNP) that enables cell-specific delivery of genetic medicines. The barcode technology will allow rapid and simultaneous tracking of multiple gene vectors in one animal in vivo and allows fast discovery of tissue and cell-specific HNPs for clinical applications in gene therapy.
Responsibilities
Experience in primary cell culture or nanoparticle formulation is plus
