Research Scientist (Immunology) Position overview Creyon Bio is seeking a highly motivated and skilled Immunologist to join our dynamic research and development team. The successful candidate will play a critical role in designing, executing, and interpreting experiments to advance our understanding of immune mechanisms and contribute to the development of novel immunotherapies. This position requires a strong background in immunology, excellent laboratory skills, and the ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced environment. The successful candidate will be responsible for guiding the successful completion of internal R&D projects. The successful candidate will be able to follow established Creyon Bio rules, regulations, and safety precautions, documentation practices, and maintain quality standards. Primary Responsibilities · Design, perform, and analyze complex immunological experiments using a variety of techniques (e.g., multi-parameter flow cytometry, ELISA, Western blot, in vitro functional assays). · Conduct independent research to investigate immune cell function, signaling pathways, and immune responses in relevant disease models. · Develop and optimize new assays and experimental protocols. · Analyze and interpret complex data sets, present findings to internal teams, and contribute to scientific publications and presentations. · Maintain accurate and detailed records of experimental procedures and results. · Collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams, including molecular biologists, pharmacologists, and clinicians. · Stay up-to-date with the latest scientific literature and advancements in the field of immunology. Education & Experience · Ph.D. in Immunology, Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, or a related field. · Minimum of 2 years of post-doctoral or industry experience in Immunology research. · Demonstrated expertise in a wide range of immunological techniques, including multi-parameter flow cytometry, cell culture (primary cells and cell lines), ELISA/Luminex, and functional immune assays. · Strong understanding of immune cell subsets, their activation, differentiation, and roles in health and disease. · Proven ability to design and execute experiments independently, troubleshoot technical issues, and interpret complex data. · Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a track record of presenting scientific findings effectively. · Ability to work both independently and collaboratively within a team environment. · Strong analytical and problem-solving skills. Compensation commensurate with experience This position is for our Creyon Bio India lab at Salarpuria Symphony, Bangalore, India . Please send your CV to samji@creyonbio.com Who are we We are a wholly owned Indian subsidiary of a US venture-backed nascent biotech-pharma company with a razor focus on solving one of the biggest problems in the industry---drugs cost too much and take too long to develop. By transforming discovery and development of new medicines into engineering problems, we shun the costly and inefficient prevailing paradigm of trial-and-error screening. We want to solve rare and common diseases with gene-modulatory medicines using precise control over gene- regulatory states, typically targeting both coding and non-coding RNAs directly. We work on gene-modulatory medicines (Oligonucleotide-based medicines or OBMs), which encompass antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs), siRNAs, ADAR guides, aptamers etc. We envision engineering new personalized medicines immediately following actionable genetic diagnosis. Our mission is to make gene-centric medicines affordable and rapidly available to patients globally. As cross-disciplinary scientists and industry veterans, we have recruited a remarkable team of scientific advisors and early partners. We, and our investors, are committed to building a company that will disrupt the pharmaceutical industry. We value intense scientific and engineering innovation as the driver of such a change. We have a very employee-friendly vacation policy, flexible schedule, and highly competitive compensation, health-care benefits, and employee stock plans.
