Biochemistry background is a plus, but not required. 

Qualifications:
• Hands-on experience with complex tissue models
• Experience with iPSC-derived and primary 3D cell cultures, or tissue slices
• Hands-on experience with screening (biochemical assaying and assay multiplexing)
• Ability to generate and analyze dose-response curves
• Ability to execute, troubleshoot and analyze experiments and to interpret results
• Molecular biology skills (mammalian cell DNA/RNA extraction, PCR/RT-PCR/qPCR)
• Familiarity with cellular biology techniques (immunostaining, high-content imaging, image analysis, western blot)
• Documentation of procedures and results in compliance with Electronic Lab Notebook guidelines
• Strong interpersonal and organizational skills
• Ability to work in a fast-paced environment
• Excellent oral, written and presentation skills
• Willingness to travel and present at conferences
