A key facet of their technology is the fidelity to process cells autonomously so that multiple cellular treatments can be performed concurrently without any issues of cross-contamination or mislabelling. To do this, they implement highly precise tools which need to be optimised. As part of their Cell Processing Team, the Automation Cell Scientist will work collaboratively with other scientists and engineers to enable this high-throughput workflow and supporting quality management of the system. This is a hands-on role that will involve routine experiments for testing.

* Experience working with primary cells and cell lines under BSL-2 practices, as well as ability to follow SOPs and established protocols.
* Good documentation skills.
* Exposure to flow cytometry, PCR assays, cryopreservation, cell staining would be desirable.
