Owkin is an AI biotechnology company that uses AI to find the right treatment for every patient. We combine the best of human and artificial intelligence to answer the research questions shared by biopharma and academic researchers. By closing the translational gap between complex biology and new treatments, we bring new diagnostics and drugs to patients sooner.
Owkin has raised over $300 million and became a unicorn through investments from leading biopharma companies (Sanofi and BMS) and venture funds (Fidelity, GV and BPI, among others).
Owkin is seeking the best and brightest to join our fast-growing and dynamic team.
About the role:
Owkin is currently recruiting a highly motivated and skilled senior technician to join our laboratory team. The successful candidate will be a driven, experienced cell/molecular biologist who is enthusiastic about leveraging state-of-the-art techniques and developing translational in vitro preclinical assays/models to validate therapeutic targets and deliver high quality multi-omics data.
The best person for this role is exceptionally rigorous and meticulous in experimental execution and has a demonstrated ability to work in multi-disciplinary collaborations involving a high level of teamwork. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute your in-depth knowledge and technical hand-on skills to our growing biomedical operations team and support Owkin's discovery pipeline.
In particular, you will:
- Carry out cell line and patient-derived cell culture (2D and 3D) following established SOPs
- Perform image acquisition & analysis using high content analysis systems (experience with Yokogawa CellVoyager or similar systems is a plus).
- Execute general molecular and cellular biology techniques (RNA/DNA isolation, RT-PCR, Flow Cytometry, IHC/IF staining and imaging acquisition,...)
- Execute genetic and drug perturbations experiments to study novel oncology/immuno-oncology candidate targets
- Conduct assay development and optimization together with senior lab members
- Contribute to the SOP writing and updating
- Maintain accurate records in a timely fashion and prepare technical reports, summaries, protocols, etc. Manage and update LIMS/ELN inventories and databases.
