Senior Scientist responsible for designing, executing, and interpreting mechanistic immunology studies to support target identification and therapeutic development in livestock and companion animal programs.
Responsibilities
Design, execute, troubleshoot, and document in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo studies that define immune mechanisms, support target identification and validation, and inform substrate or modality decisions.
Characterize immunological responses across model systems and species using fit-for-purpose technical approaches, integrating data from multiple assay formats into clear conclusions.
Develop, optimize, qualify, and transfer immunoassays across ELISA, ELISpot, MSD/U-Plex, Luminex, flow cytometry, and other relevant platforms.
Develop and adapt cell-based assays using primary and immortalized immune and non-immune cells, applying imaging, luminescence/fluorescence, receptor-binding, effector-function, and related readouts.
Plan experiments independently using literature, prior data, and input from project leads; analyze results, identify risks and next steps, and recommend practical follow-on studies.
Support the creation and commercialization of flow cytometry–based multiplex bead immunoassays for targets aligned with our strategic objectives.
