As a Scientist on our Biology team, you will design and execute in vitro studies and analytical assays that help us evaluate potential therapeutics for neurodegenerative diseases. You will work with advanced cellular models, process in vivo and in vitro samples, and generate high-quality data that inform pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD), efficacy, safety, proof-of-concept (POC), and mechanism-of-action (MOA) studies.
You’ll collaborate closely with colleagues across Biology, ADPE, and Preclinical teams to advance our programs. We value scientific curiosity, thoughtful experimentation, and the ability to adapt as our science and priorities evolve.
