Job description

The Scientist, RCM Analytical Development, will support Regeneron Cell Medicines (RCM) cell therapy programs by developing, optimizing, and executing biophysical assays to characterize lentiviral vectors. In this exciting role you will be planning and performing experiments, developing new assay protocols, analyzing and interpreting data, and communicating results through presentations, protocols, and technical reports. This position also supports routine laboratory operations, instrument maintenance, and accurate electronic lab notebook documentation. The Scientist will partner cross‑functionally to meet program timelines and deliver high‑quality analytical data to support therapies for patients.

A Typical Day as Scientist Might Look Like

• Advance analytical development for cell therapy programs, with a primary focus on lentiviral vectors (LVVs).
• Strengthen existing and establish new biophysical methods to characterize LVVs.
• Analyze, interpret, and clearly present complex datasets to technical and cross‑functional audiences.
• Partner with cross‑functional teams across RCM to troubleshoot challenges, align on priorities, and support program execution.
• Author and review technical documentation, including assay protocols, method development reports, and data summaries.
• Maintain complete, timely, and compliant electronic lab notebook records, support instrument upkeep, and independently troubleshoot equipment and assays.

This Role May Be For You If:

• You thrive in a fast‑paced, collaborative environment and consistently deliver results with efficiency and ownership.
• You quickly learn new technologies, tackle complex problems, and have a passion for science.
• You are self‑motivated and proactive, prioritizing effectively, and driving work forward with minimal supervision.

This role requires a Bachelors or Masters Degree in Biophysics, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or related field with 6‑8+ years of proven experience with characterization and quantitative analysis of lentiviral vectors. This role requires the ability to work independently to design experiments, as well as interpret, document, and communicate results. Experience with biophysical characterization techniques for sizing and counting particles, such as DLS, MRPS, and fluorescent labeling assays, is preferred. Understanding and knowledge of viral vector biology, design, process, and gene delivery mechanisms is a plus.
