Description

ECS is seeking a ARPA-H Immunoengineering Technical Advisor Technical Advisor to work in our Washington, DC (Hybrid) office. Please Note: This position is contingent upon contract award.

Job Description:

Are you a passionate and innovative biomedical scientist with expertise in bioengineering, immunoengineering, synthetic biology, medical device development, and/or materials science?

The Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) recently launched several projects aiming to revolutionize the detection and treatment of cancer and autoimmune diseases through advanced immunotherapy methods and technologies. The Targeted Hybrid Oncotherapeutic Regulation (THOR) project aims to improve treatment outcomes for peritoneal cancers, such as ovarian and primary colorectal cancers. THOR plans to leverage several innovative technological and medical advancements to create a device that can trigger a patient's immune system against tumors by releasing therapeutic molecules, as well as monitor cancer biomarkers. This treatment could save the lives of 180,000 patients whose cancer tumors do not respond to current immunotherapies.

The Synthetic Programmable bacteria for Immune-directed Killing in tumor Environments (SPIKEs) project aims to develop a new class of living cancer immunotherapy that utilizes genetically programmable bacteria designed to sense tumor-associated metabolites as an exquisitely precise homing mechanism and then deliver therapeutic payloads that activate immune-directed killing of solid tumor cells - without the need for the long and costly processes currently used. Bacterial therapeutics carrying programmable genetic circuitry that allows safe tissue targeting, on-demand activation and clearance, and multiple therapeutic functions - including immune cell recruitment, activation, and targeting - represent an innovative, scalable, cost-effective, and accessible treatment modality for cancer.

The Curing the Uncurable via RNA-Encoded Immunogene Tuning (CUREIT) project aims to address immune system dysregulation by directly programming immune cell function. CUREIT will leverage gene-encoded technology to deliver mRNA-based drugs, use lipid nanoparticles to target specific cells, and perform targeted immunomodulation. By successfully treating immune dysregulation, CUREIT could effectively cure autoimmune diseases, cancer, infectious diseases, and transplant rejection.

What you will do:

Provide technical input and support during the development of reports, presentations, and other materials.
