Conception

Research Scientist

• Shape and execute the company’s RNA and TF-based strategy to accelerate iPSC differentiation into germline fates.
• Start hands-on in the lab and lead a small team, quickly taking on direct reports and mentoring scientists and research associates.
• Design and lead transcription factor and gene perturbation projects, emphasizing RNA-based, non-integrative strategies.
• Develop a company strategy for applying a clinically viable gene perturbation approach to speed up differentiation across multiple pipeline areas.
• Drive innovation in non-integrative gene expression systems (mRNA, circRNA, CRISPRa/dCas9) and adapt these technologies to high-throughput screens.
• Develop and apply high-throughput pooled TF/gene screening approaches (e.g., TFome, ORF libraries).
• Integrate machine learning–guided or computational pipelines (e.g., ATAC-seq, DNase-seq, RNA-seq–driven predictions) with experimental design.
• Operate with high ownership and autonomy, delivering rigorous results quickly to impact the company’s mission.
