Mammalian Cell Culture Internship in Biotech for Boston Based Student with Pell Grant

YOU MUST HAVE MAMMALIAN CELL CULTURE EXPERIENCE TO APPLY FOR THIS ROLE

TenSixty Bio is a venture-backed emerging biotech company at the frontiers of biology,

computation, and drug development. The three founders completed their PhDs and Postdocs at Harvard, Stanford, and the Broad Institute in leading biology, genomics, and biophysics labs, where they made surprising discoveries about the roles of new specialized cell types in driving rare diseases and cancers.  The relationships between these new cell types and diseases open up entirely new and exciting avenues to understand, and treat, diseases. Our main focus is finding novel biological targets for antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) therapeutics for cancers that are difficult to treat and have really poor patient outcomes. The potential for ADCs to revolutionize cancer treatment is promising, but pharma has focused primarily on ADC technologies rather than finding cancer targets that are ideal for ADCs across cancer indications. With our novel biology and platform, we are discovering new exciting ADC targets and are poised to fill this critical gap in making ADCs the future of cancer therapeutics.

Our team of scientists are very experienced in cancer target discovery and therapeutic development, and are also great mentors. This is a great opportunity for an intern to learn from a kind and experienced team, and get visibility into an important and underserved area of therapeutics development. TenSixty Bio is an equal opportunity company, and welcomes applicants of all backgrounds. We are a tight-knit team and dedicated to fostering an inclusive environment for everyone.

You will play an important part in turning many of the company’s concepts and ideas into experiments and data. We are looking for candidates who can not only execute, but also think critically and have the desire to contribute to strategic directions.  You will work with our biology team to experimentally validate critical disease targets, and with our technology development team to perform high-throughput screenings. Your contributions to the team will include:

• Executing lab protocols including mammalian cell culture, microscopy, reporter assays,
• Helping with CRISPR cell engineering, FACS, and data analysis
• Continually improve our experimental workflows and documentation
• Critical thinking and providing feedback to team members
