Research Associate/Senior Research Associate, Analytical Development - Bedford, United States - Obsidian Therapeutics
Description
Research Associate/Senior Research Associate, Analytical Development (Operations/Core Testing Team)
Bedford, MA
About Us...
Obsidian Therapeutics is expanding the reach of TIL therapy. We are pioneering engineered tumor infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) therapies to deliver transformative outcomes for patients suffering from solid tumor malignancies. Obsidian's programs apply our cytoDRiVE platform technology to express regulated therapeutic proteins to enhance anti-tumor activity. We're currently investigating our lead program OBX-115 and enrolling patients in an ongoing clinical trial in advanced or metastatic melanoma.
We're proud of our diverse talented team and committed to cultivating an environment where each person feels a strong sense of belonging and is supported to continuously learn and contribute their best work. Our research team is based in the heart of Cambridge, MA, and our Technical Development, Manufacturing & Quality team is based in our facility in Bedford, MA. Obsidianites enjoy a highly collaborative culture, competitive salary and benefits, and potential for ownership through stock options.
On April 3, 2024, we announced closure of a significantly oversubscribed $160.5 million Series C financing with a top-tier syndicate of life science investors led by new investor, Wellington Management. Proceeds from the financing will advance Obsidian's lead program in its ongoing trials. We're focused on enrolling patients and reaching key clinical and regulatory milestones, as well as manufacturing scale-up ahead of pivotal trial readiness.
Our Opportunity...
We're looking for a highly motivated scientist to join our analytical development core testing team. You will focus on characterizing engineered cell therapy products and supporting Obsidian's tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL), viral vector and critical materials analytical teams. Based in our Bedford, MA location, you'll support critical studies and experiments to advance Obsidian OBX-115 product understanding. You'll work with subject matter experts across different functional groups, affording a significant learning opportunity and career development. This position is part of a new assay management and product characterization group and will afford the individual the opportunity to contribute to the vision for this testing team as well as to help establish control charting and sample tracking systems.
As a member of our Technical Development Manufacturing and Quality group you'll be a vital part of a highly collaborative team working to achieve the Obsidian's vision by translating innovative science into medical breakthroughs for patients, starting with our lead program cytoTIL15 a novel engineered tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) therapy.
This is a unique opportunity to be a contributor in a well-funded clinical company with blue chip investors, field-leading advisors, best-in-class partners, and an experienced team. You'll help us build a dynamic, innovative, passionate, collaborative, and successful organization focused on delivering transformative therapies in areas of greatest clinical need.
You will...
