• Research Assistant II – Cell Culture and Blood Clotting On Chip
  Research and Technology Development

  We are currently seeking a Research Assistant II to significantly contribute to a research program funded by the Welcome 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 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. [001609SR]

• Scientist I- Computational Biology
  Research and Technology Development

  We are looking for a Scientist I to join our Diagnostics Accelerator team with significant expertise in analyzing Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) and other high throughput datasets (mass spectrometry) for biomarker discovery. You will work with a multidisciplinary team on developing multi-omic technologies for investigating pathological states from human biofluids. You will lead development of novel Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) computational methods that will be used across different diseases. Although this role is primarily computational, you will also have an opportunity to participate or be trained in experimental methods and ideally serve as a hybrid computational / experimental scientist.

• Research Assistant II – Microbiology and in vivo models
  Research and Technology Development

  We are looking for a motivated Research Assistant II to contribute to a multidisciplinary portfolio of research projects involving procedures of health monitoring, injections, blood sampling, survival surgery, post- operative care, and behavioral studies relating to projects on the ImmunoMaterials Platform.

  Reporting to Staff Scientists on the ImmunoMaterials Platform at the Wyss Institute, you will be responsible for overseeing study animals, daily rounds, and observations to check animal health status; adherence to protocols and techniques at the animal facility; performing and documenting experimental observations in rodent species; and sample processing at the conclusion of the studies. You will also be responsible for maintaining pathogen cultures for in vitro and in vivo experiments. You will run screening assays that are in vitro based, including but not limited to: microbiology, ELISA, enzymatic assays, imaging, and flow cytometry. [001521SR]
