Senior Research Associate/Associate Scientist, Stem Cell Biology at Conception | LAYIQ

Maintain human iPSC/ESC cultures: Culture, passage, expand, freeze and thaw sensitive stem cell lines while maintaining consistently high culture quality.
Own culture quality: Develop strong judgment around morphology, confluency, differentiation, recovery and overall culture health, and identify problems early.
Minimize culture stress: Handle cells carefully and consistently, paying attention to small differences in technique that can affect quality and downstream performance.
Reduce variability: Help make our stem cell workflows as consistent and reproducible as possible across operators and batches.
Support cell banks and QC: Maintain cell banks and perform routine QC, including mycoplasma and sterility testing, characterization and sample preparation for whole-genome sequencing.
Perform directed differentiations: Run routine differentiations with careful attention to timing, handling and outcome tracking.
Improve processes: Help stabilize protocols, define QC standards and ultimately contribute to process development for our stem cell workflows.
Document everything well: Maintain clear, accurate culture records, track deviations and outcomes, and help ensure that culture history is easy to understand and trace.
Prepare critical reagents: Prepare media, small molecules and other cell culture reagents consistently and carefully.
Experience: Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in biology, stem cell biology, or a related field
