Be a key hands-on contributor to our neuroscience team, applying your deep expertise in advanced electrophysiology and neuropharmacology to characterize network dysfunction in neurodegenerative disease models.
Generate high-quality, actionable data that our entire programs will build on. You'll use your skills with cellular models, including human iPSC-derived 2D and 3D models, to produce the functional readouts (e.g., MEA, calcium imaging and other neuropharmacology assays) that fuel our discovery pipeline.
Collaborate closely with a cross-functional team of biologists and data scientists. You will play a vital role in designing experiments, analyzing complex neural datasets, and translating raw functional readouts into shared, actionable insights.
Help our team grow and improve by bringing your pharma expertise and rigorous, detail-oriented approach to the lab. You'll help optimize assays, validate new systems, and share your knowledge to support the growth of colleagues in a collaborative setting.
Contribute to a fast-paced, mission-driven environment where your ability to troubleshoot, communicate clearly, and work as part of a team is essential to our collective success.
In this role, you will:
Serve as a hands-on technical expert, executing advanced neuropharmacology and electrophysiology studies (e.g., multielectrode arrays, imaging assays) on human iPSC-derived neurons and 2D/3D neurodegenerative disease models.
