What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Associate Scientist / Principal Associate Scientist, Quantitative Platform Biology (contract) position at Generation Bio?
Generation Bio is a biotechnology company changing what is possible for people living with T cell-driven autoimmune diseases. The company is developing novel therapeutics leveraging its T cell selective cell-targeted lipid nanoparticle (ctLNP) to deliver siRNA in vivo, enabling modulation of T cell activity that causes inflammation and auto-reactive tissue destruction. By selectively modulating T cells that drive disease pathology, ctLNP-siRNA therapeutics could potently block target function with sequence-level specificity while sparing the broader immune system. This potent new modality is designed to reach targets that are poorly drugged by other approaches, opening a broad indication space of T cell driven autoimmune diseases.
We are a thriving, collaborative, creative community of 100 people with diverse talents, beliefs, and experiences headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
