About the job
Manage and improve cryoprotectant screening workflows to identify less-toxic formulations and advance understanding of their effects on cell viability and function.
What you'll do
- Coordinate the screening team, plan experiments, mentor team members, and deliver milestones.
- Improve high-throughput workflows, assays, throughput, reproducibility, and data quality across cell models.
- Develop toxicity mechanism assays, analyze screening results, and assess compound purity using chromatography and mass spectrometry.
What they ask for
