Researcher in Gene Editing

Algenscribe is a start-up developing a Gene Editing platform to improve human health. Algenscribe is developing new patented Gene Editing tools to reach the full potential of genome editing. 

1°) Research & Development

The researcher will be responsible for the design and optimization of Gene Editing vectors and their delivery to target specific loci in the human genome in collaboration with different world-renowned research laboratories specialized in rare diseases and oncology.

The researcher also tests different strategies and new molecular biology tools.

She, He works in collaboration with different research laboratories and in the context of industrial collaborations but also on internal programs.

The researcher participates in the implementation of new collaborations, particularly in the definition of the research program.

She, He will work under the direct supervision of the Principal Scientist.

2°) Administrative tasks

Around 10% to 15% of time will be devoted to administrative work: R&D Budget follow up, R&D reports, order of material and reagents, administrative follow up of Grants and Tax Credit linked to R&D….

She/He could also be involved in the writing of grants applications and the follow-up of their implementation.
