From Bristol Myers Squibb's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
At Bristol Myers Squibb, our employees often ask, “Who are you working for?”—a question that fuels collaboration, accountability, and urgency in our work. Our purpose-driven culture inspires us to discover, develop, and deliver innovative medicines to prevail over serious diseases. We offer uniquely interesting and meaningful work, opportunities for growth, and a supportive environment that values inclusion, wellbeing, flexibility, and comprehensive benefits.
This is work that transforms the lives of patients, and the careers of those who do it.
The Cell Therapy Thematic Research Center is one of BMS’s differentiated research platforms delivering innovative therapies to patients. Our mission is to drive leadership in the use of cellular therapies to harness the power of the immune system in treating hematologic malignancies, solid cancers, and autoimmune disease. More specifically, our discovery and translational scientists are focused on developing next-generation, engineered cell-based therapies.
The team is committed to discovering and developing transformative therapies that harness the power of the immune system to improve patient outcomes.
The Cell Therapy Molecular Immunobiology and Discovery team is seeking a highly motivated, dynamic and self-driven individual to help us build out our molecular engineering and gene delivery capabilities Effective delivery of optimal cargo will be the foundation of our next generation of cell therapies. Innovations in this space will drive the future of our cellular therapeutic pipeline at BMS, enabling us to bring best-in-class engineered drugs to our patients.
This role will primarily focus on developing and validating technologies to efficiently generate potent CAR-T cells. The ideal candidate is an experienced molecular biologist and lentivirologist with a strong background in immunology. They will have a conceptual and practical understanding of CAR-T cell biology, and knowledge of key challenges related to lentiviral vector transgene delivery in vitro and in vivo.
This role will provide a challenging but rewarding opportunity for career development and is ideal for a scientist with an innovative mindset. Previous experience in cellular therapy, industry or academic, is preferred.
In the role as a Senior Scientist within the Molecular Immunobiology and Discovery Team, the ideal candidate will be responsible for, but not limited to:
Plan and implement critical studies required for platform building and hypothesis-driven research for building the next generation lentiviral vectors
Apply extensive knowledge of lentiviral vector biology to develop and execute creative strategies for increasing yield, throughput, and the robust streamlined assessment of novel lentiviral vector platforms
Interface with immunologists to interpret and enable science-driven decision making related to aspects of T-cell activation pathways, antigen-specific differentiation, and CAR-T cell phenotype to assess different lentiviral vector cargo and delivery strategies
Design experiments, organize and analyze results and communicate progress to the group to enable efficient Go/No Go decisions.
Work with other team members and team leaders to enable adoption of novel methods and designs in ongoing programs.
