Research Associate, Research Scientist, Clinical Research

Trutino Biosciences is a research-driven biopharmaceutical company with a mission to restore immuno-balance in cancer patients by developing the next generation cytokine therapies that can safely activate tumor-fighting immune cells at the disease site without causing adverse side effects. Trutino’s proprietary On-Demand-Cytokine (ODC) platform technology enables the design of therapeutic candidates that can be systemically delivered in an inactive form and be locally activated directly at the tumor site, thereby avoiding the extreme toxicity of conventional cytokine therapies, and potentially improving efficacy either as a single agent or in combination with other treatment modalities.

We are seeking a Research Associate who can be part of a team driving innovative, new approaches in drug discovery. The successful applicant will contribute to the discovery, development, and validation of zytokine (inactive cytokines) and zymokine (inactive chemokines) therapeutic candidates based on Trutino’s On Demand Cytokine Platform technology.

Knowledge of ELISAs, ligand binding assays, Westerns, FRET, Luminex, mammalian cell culture, and cell-based assays are needed for this position, as well as the desire to learn different assay techniques. High level of quality and productivity is required.
