Job Location: Nanjing， China
Responsibilities:
- Lead， design， and execute experiments aimed at developing next-generation genome editing strategies using CRISPR-based tools and beyond.
- Design and produce DNA， RNA， and virus-based reagents for genome editing experiments in human cells.
- Apply various genome editing tools at different stages of CAR-T discovery and development.
- Develop and execute in-house NGS workflows， including the following: NGS library preparation and quantification.
- Lead from the lab to advance novel and differentiated cell therapy products toward clinical milestones， by working collaboratively with internal cross-functional teams and external partners.
- Contribute creatively to seed innovation projects through literature review and shape execution tactics.
- Recommends changes to project direction based on an understanding of current literature and in-house experimental data.
- Accurately capture data in a timely manner， ensuring data integrity and protocol compliance.
Qualifications:
