About Us
Deep Genomics is at the forefront of integrating artificial intelligence and complex biology to transform drug discovery. Our proprietary machine learning platform decodes the complexity of RNA biology to identify novel drug targets, mechanisms and therapeutics inaccessible through traditional methods. With expertise spanning machine learning, bioinformatics, data science, genetics, chemistry and drug development, our multidisciplinary team in Toronto and Cambridge, MA is revolutionizing how medicines are created.
About the role
The Senior Research Associate will join our in vivo Pharmacology team within the Platform Biology group and will be a key player in driving our cutting-edge AI RNA therapeutics discovery platform. In this role, you will be responsible for helping support in vivo therapeutic efficacy testing efforts of novel RNA therapeutics in various animal models. The ideal candidate will have strong hands-on experience with in vivo animal handling and rodent models, expertise in tissue collection and sample processing, and some background in molecular biology techniques. Experience or familiarity with RNA-based therapeutic modalities is highly desirable.
The successful candidate will be a proactive, detail-oriented, and collaborative team member who demonstrates scientific curiosity and initiative. The candidate should be comfortable working both mostly independently and within cross-functional teams in a dynamic, fast-paced biotech environment.
This position is onsite at our Cambridge, MA site.
Key Responsibilities
- Coordinate study logistics, including dosing schedules, sample collection plans, reagent preparation, and communication with research partners.
- Manage i_n vivo_ samples and prepare samples for downstream analysis.
- Perform standard molecular biology techniques in a consistent and reproducible manner (e.g. PCR, qPCR, ddPCR, ELISA, Western blot, Jess/Leo capillary-based Western blot, etc.).
- Support the development of novel molecular and functional assays on animal samples for our internal therapeutic pipeline.
- Analyze, visualize, and summarize study data while maintaining accurate and timely documentation of experiments, protocols/SOPs, sample inventories, and results in an electronic lab notebook (ELN).
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to support project goals and meet company timelines.
Basic Qualifications
- Degree in Pharmacology, Biology, Molecular Biology, Genetics, Biochemistry or a related field with a BS and 2-4+ years of relevant experience, a MS and 1-2+ years of relevant pharmaceutical or biotechnology experience.
