Sarafan ChEM-H is an interdisciplinary institute focused on connecting Chemistry, Engineering, and Medicine for Human Health. The institute was founded as a joint venture of the Schools of Medicine, Engineering, and Humanities and Sciences. The proximity of world-class biologists, chemists, engineers, and clinicians at Stanford presents a unique opportunity to study human biology at a molecular level, to translate this knowledge into groundbreaking discoveries that advance our understanding of and ability to improve human health.
Sarafan ChEM-H has partnered with Stanford Medicine to launch a bold new translational research initiative – Stanford’s Innovative Medicines Accelerator (IMA). IMA aims to accelerate the translation of scientific discoveries at Stanford University into new therapeutics that impact human health while improving our understanding of human biology. The Preclinical pharmacology team works closely with the Medicinal Chemistry, High Throughput Screening and Protein Engineering modules. They propel IMA projects with quantitative measurements of drug candidates that guide medicinal chemists and protein engineers toward drug prototypes. Preclinical pharmacology collects information about how drug candidates interact with their targets, affect cells in culture and behave in animals. Preclinical pharmacology informs how drug candidates will behave in humans.
Our VPDoR Diversity Journey:
POSITION SUMMARY:
The Stanford Innovative Medicines Accelerator (IMA) is seeking a Research Scientist, Molecular Pharmacology, to perform cell-based assays in support of the IMA’s portfolio of drug discovery projects. You will perform and support complex lab experiments working both independently and in collaboration with other Stanford IMA scientists. You have experience and knowledge of a variety of experimental methods used to measure the quantitative interaction between drug candidates and targets. You are an experienced biochemist, cell biologist or immunologist with a solid publication record with a goal of making medicines for the benefit of humankind. You will have a minimum of three years of industry experience in a pharmaceutical or biotechnology company performing cell-based assays for the purpose of discovering new therapeutic molecules. You have experience generating cell lines and using them to perform target-based screening assays to optimize drug potency. You are adept at methods of cell enrichment to obtain specific cell populations (e.g. CD3+ T-cells) for use in mixed cell assays (e.g. T cell killing target cell). You have a good understanding of the basic principles and techniques used in molecular biology and cellular immunology and have demonstrated experience in performing cell-based and biochemical assays.
