Social network you want to login/join with:

Excellio is a pioneering biotech startup based at the Roslin Innovation Centre, just outside Edinburgh. We engineer exosomes—naturally occurring extracellular vesicles—as targeted delivery vehicles for regenerative medicine, immune modulation, and cosmetic applications.

We operate at the interface of cell biology, exosome science, and translational innovation. Backed by early-stage grants and academic partnerships, we’re now growing our technical team to push our science from lab bench to application.

This is a great opportunity to join an early-stage company and help shape the direction of a breakthrough platform in cellular delivery and exosome-based bio innovation.

The Role: Senior Scientist

We’re looking for a motivated Senior Scientist to lead and execute lab-based R&D across multiple technical areas from exosome biology to iPSC differentiation and immuno-oncology.

You will play a central role in designing experiments, planning studies, and contributing to both strategy and hands-on work. This individual should thrive in the lab and enjoy the energy of a collaborative startup.

You’ll work closely with the founding team and will also have opportunities to engage with commercial and academic partners as the company expands.

Key Responsibilities

* Design and execute projects in exosome production, characterisation, and functional assays
* Lead iPSC differentiation projects, particularly toward immune cell lineages (e.g., NK cells)
* Support assay development in immuno-oncology, including cell-based potency or immune function testing
* Plan and execute lab work including cell culture, EV isolation, and downstream analyses
* Interpret data, troubleshoot experiments, and contribute to strategic decisions
* Help prepare documentation for funding, regulatory, or commercial discussions
* Represent Excellio in scientific collaborations, client calls, or pitch opportunities
* Mentor junior staff as we scale, and help foster a collaborative, proactive lab culture

Qualifications/ Experience Required:

* Experience in Exosome / EV biology – including isolation, characterisation, and functional analysis
* Experience in iPSC differentiation, ideally into immune lineages such as NK cells or dendritic cells
* Experience in Immuno-oncology – hands-on experience with immune assays, co-culture models, or cancer cell systems
* PhD in a relevant life sciences field with postdoc-level experience/ relevant industry experience.
* A hands-on mindset and willingness to lead from the lab bench
* Comfort in startup or small-team environments: flexible, fast-moving, and adaptable
* Strong collaborative and communication skills
* Industry experience or exposure to GMP, GLP, or regulatory translation
* Experience preparing documentation for grants, IND-enabling work, or commercial engagement
* Ability to act as a scientific spokesperson for the company at meetings or presentations

What We Offer

* A dynamic startup environment with direct influence on product and platform development
* Long-term growth opportunities as the team and company scale
* Autonomy, trust, and a mission-focused culture of collaboration
