Research Assistant III – Brain Targeting Program
Research and Technology DevelopmentWe are looking for a Research Assistant III to join the Brain Targeting Program (BTP) team and support antibody brain shuttle compound screening and validation in vivo and in vitro. The mission of the Wyss BTP is to develop a robust modular brain delivery platform that is able to deliver large-molecule therapeutics for diverse brain diseases. We aim to help expand the pipeline of CNS drugs by making our platform broadly available to companies, academics and non-profit organizations. The ideal candidate has strong rodent handling experience, including intravenous injection (IV), cardiac perfusion, and brain and peripheral tissue harvesting, is detail orientated and excited for translational research, and thrives in a highly collaborative, fast paced research environment.

Research Assistant III – Cell Culture and Blood Clotting-On-Chip
Research and Technology DevelopmentWe are currently seeking a Research Assistant III to significantly contribute to a research program funded by the Wellcome Leap, “The missed vital sign”, involving the use of human Organ Chips to advance knowledge and development of therapeutics for heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB). We will be developing a human Organ Chip model of HMB and use it to identify causal factors, as well as discover new non-hormonal HMB therapeutics using multi-omics analysis in combination with an artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled computational approach. As part of the Bioinspired Therapeutics & Diagnostics platform and reporting to the Senior Scientist, you will carry out various cell-based assays and manage primary cell cultures, including, but not limited to, primary epithelial and endothelial cell cultures and on chip cultures. Furthermore, you will execute studies on blood perfusion in these human organ chip models of HMB and analyze differences between them and healthy models. You will be expected to learn new skills, and troubleshoot any technical issues that arise, and contribute intellectually to the project. [003424SR]

Research Assistant III- Technology Development
Research and Technology DevelopmentWe are looking for a Research Assistant III to join our work developing novel technologies for biomarker discovery and diagnostics. You will work with a multidisciplinary team on developing novel technologies for investigating pathological states from human biofluids. You will lead development of novel methods that will be used across different diseases. Although you will work within a team and receive significant experimental and computational training, you will also have significant opportunities for scientific independence, and previous RAs working with us have contributed to multiple publications and presented their work at international conferences.
