Experience handling mammalian cells is required
Experience with nucleic acid delivery methods (transfection, nucleofection, electroporation) is preferred
Familiarity with experimental design, hands‑on execution and data analysis of in vitro assays to evaluate nucleic acid function (flow cytometry, ELISA, Incucyte‑and/or confocal‑based microscopy, reporter assays) is preferred
Highly motivated to execute at the bench and bring robust organizational and problem‑solving skills
Strong communication and interpersonal skills
Rigorous attention to detail and enthusiasm toward developing and learning new skills
Ability to adapt and execute in a fast‑paced, multidisciplinary, and rapidly growing biotech environment
