Scientist / Senior Scientist, In Vivo Cancer Biology
Waypoint Bio is a venture-backed biotech startup building the next generation of cell therapies for solid tumors and autoimmune diseases. Traditional cell therapy development faces a trade-off between in vitro approaches that are fast but inaccurate, and in vivo approaches that are accurate but slow and expensive. Using our proprietary platform combining spatial biology, pooled screening, in silico protein engineering, and machine learning, we can obtain both depth and breadth when screening cell therapy candidates – speed without compromising on in vivo accuracy. Our team is highly collaborative, interdisciplinary, and shares the mission of developing novel immune cell therapies to benefit patients' lives.
Position Summary:
We are seeking a highly-motivated, creative scientist who thrives in a fast-paced and collaborative environment. The ideal candidate will have extensive expertise designing and using cutting-edge in vivo mouse models to test the efficacy & safety of cancer immunotherapies. They will also have deep technical knowledge of the immune system, the tumor microenvironment, and the design of novel immunotherapies. In this position, you will design and implement in vivo assays to assess the anti-tumor activity of CAR-T cells, develop novel immunocompetent and xenograft in vivo cancer models, and apply Waypoint’s multiplexed imaging platform to perform pooled in vivo screens of cell therapies. You will work collaboratively with computational and wet-lab scientists on every step of the pre-clinical therapeutic development process, from the initial design and screening of cell therapy constructs, subsequent ranking & filtering, and further optimization to obtain finalized therapeutic candidates.
