We’re looking for a scientist with a background in mammalian cell biology and/or in engineered cell and gene therapy to join our international and interdisciplinary team.

The position

This senior open position involves developing new applications for cutting-edge single-cell technologies, with a focus on functional mammalian cell assays that will make engineered cell therapy safer, more robust, and more accessible.

As a cell biologist on the applications development team, you’ll work to demonstrate single-cell resolution in functional mammalian cell assays using Samplix’s double-emulsion droplet technology.

In the past decade, single-cell technologies have revolutionized sequencing and proteomics. Now it is time to revolutionize how we functionally characterize single cells using Samplix’s proprietary droplet technology. Samplix has the advantage of being a first mover in this emerging field.

We collaborate with key opinion leaders at world-leading academic institutions as well as pharmaceutical and biotech companies. We also perform experiments in our newly equipped laboratories. Our goal is to develop single-cell assays that help make immunotherapy safer, more robust, and more accessible. Other applications under consideration include high-throughput screening, and cell line development enabled by recent developments in synthetic biology.

In this position, you’ll run your own projects with the assistance of our skilled technicians and in close collaboration with our R&D team and external collaborators. This involves planning and performing cell functional assay experiments, data analyses, and communication of results in scientific journals, presentations, and marketing material.</p The position reports to our VP of Application Development and the workplace is our headquarters in Birkerød, Denmark.
