  • Scripps Staff Scientist - Martins Lab

    University of Florida 4.5company rating

    Principal research scientist job in Gainesville, FL

    Classification Title: Scripps Staff Scientist Classification Minimum Requirements: Ph.D. and/or MD in an appropriate scientific discipline required. A minimum of 2 years postdoctoral experience. Job Description: The Martins lab at The Herbert Wertheim UF Scripps Institute for Biomedical Innovation & Technology is looking for a Staff Scientist. Our research program is focused on developing a "one-shot" functional cure for HIV/AIDS. To that end, we are leveraging the latest advances in gene therapy to engineer long-lived host cells to continuously produce HIV-1 IgG therapeutics in vivo at levels sufficient to prevent viral replication in the absence of antiretroviral therapy (ART). Using nonhuman primates as a preclinical model of HIV/AIDS, we have shown that a single dose of adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors at birth can result in stable expression of a HIV-1 broadly neutralizing antibody (bNAb) in plasma for years without redosing. The systemic HIV-1 immunity achieved by this strategy could block acquisition of simian-HIV infection (SHIV) in mucosal challenge models that mimic HIV transmission through breastfeeding and sexual intercourse. Additionally, ongoing studies in our group show that AAV-vectored delivery of HIV-1 IgG biologics can also prevent virus rebound in SHIV-infected infant and adult rhesus macaques following ART interruption. Despite the promise of these results, AAV-expressed bNAbs often induce host immune responses that restrict bNAb expression and lead to treatment failure. Although these anti-drug antibody (ADA) responses are rarely observed in newborn macaques, a large fraction of AAV/bNAb-treated adult monkeys (and humans too!) develop immune responses that interfere with the half-life or biological activity of the delivered molecules. Thus, a main focus of our lab is to understand why gene therapy with AAV/bNAb vectors induces ADAs in some animals, but not in others, in hopes devising strategies for suppressing these unwanted host immune responses. * Project Management (meetings, bookkeeping, purchasing of reagents and supplies, etc.) * Grant/Manuscript writing * Cloning, cell culture, ELISAs, protein expression and purification, and data analysis and interpretation Expected Salary: Commensurate with experience. Required Qualifications: We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced scientist who will thrive in a dynamic, highly collaborative environment. Applicants should have the following: * Ph.D. in immunology, virology, or a related discipline. * Evidence of productivity from publications in high-quality journals originating from Ph.D. or postdoctoral work. Manuscripts that are finally accepted for publication in high-quality journals will also be considered as evidence of productivity. * Significant expertise in the design and production of gene therapy vectors. * Verbal and written communication skills in English with good organizational and analytical abilities. * Strong managerial and organizational skills. Preferred: Prior experience in some of the following areas/techniques is preferred: * Immunological techniques, including flow cytometry, ELISA, immunofluorescence, RNA/DNA scope. * Molecular biology assays, like qPCR and advanced cloning. * Preclinical models of HIV/AIDS. * Next-generation sequencing and bioinformatics. Special Instructions to Applicants: The University of Florida is a member of the State University System of Florida and an Equal Opportunity Employer.
