Senior or Principal Research Scientist - Flow Cytometry
We are working in partnership with a global pharmaceutical organisation to recruit a Senior or Principal Research Scientist with strong Flow Cytometry expertise for a newly forming Translational Research team.
This opportunity sits within the company’s Early Clinical Development & Translational Sciences function, working closely with an established Biomarker Assay Sciences group. The team supports the progression of innovative therapeutic assets – including gene therapies – from research through to early clinical development.
This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced scientist to play a key role in shaping a new translational capability, while gaining broad exposure across the drug discovery and development pipeline in a highly collaborative environment.
