| The Department of Laboratory Medicine is now recruiting for a Junior or Assistant Specialist. This position will support preclinical development for novel gene and cellular therapies. You will have the opportunity to work on true “bench-to-bedside” projects translating basic research in CRISPR-mediated editing of human T cells toward actual patient therapeutics. This work may lead to publications in scientific journals and will support clinical trials for treatment of patients with autoimmune disease, cancer, and other types of disease. Specific tasks include molecular biology, cell culture, flow cytometry, FACS, new assay development, and experimental design. You will also gain expertise in clinical trial design, preclinical development, and cGMP manufacturing for experimental cellular therapies. This position will entail working closely with Drs. Brian Shy and Jonathan Esensten in the Department of Laboratory Medicine, and with the laboratory of Dr. Alex Marson in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology. Required Qualifications:
