Scientist, Platform RNA Sciences
Sail Biomedicines , Cambridge, MA +1
The role
The Scientist, Platform RNA Sciences, will work on key projects to advance Sail’s first-in-class programmable circular RNA technology (Endless RNA™ or eRNA). This role works cross-functionally to perform hypothesis-driven experiments and high-throughput screens to improve our eRNA designs, with the goal to maximize circularization, and enhance RNA stability and translation. The successful candidate is self-motivated, curious and creative, thinks outside of the box and has a can-do mindset. The team looks forward to helping you strive in this exciting and fast-paced environment to make a real-world impact on patients’ lives.
What you will do
- Conceive and conduct pooled and array screens to improve our eRNA designs, enabling higher product purity and function
- Design hypothesis-driven experiments based on state-of-the-art RNA biology to refine our eRNA designs
- Evaluate and develop alternative circularization strategies
