Research Associate - Translational Toxicology (Cellular Assays)
Eurofins PSS is seeking a Research Associate, Translational Toxicology (Cellular Assays) to support in vitro safety and de‑risking strategies for novel therapeutic candidates. This role is highly hands‑on and centers on the design, execution, and interpretation of cellular assays, with a strong emphasis on flow cytometry–based immunophenotyping and multiplexed ELISA platforms.The Research Associate will be embedded on a client site and work cross‑functionally with toxicology, DMPK, chemistry, and discovery biology teams to support translational safety decision‑making throughout the drug discovery and early development process. The role is scheduled to start in July 2026.Key ResponsibilitiesDesign, execute, and interpret in vitro translational toxicology experiments, including:Flow cytometry–based cellular immunophenotypingMultiplexed and quantitative ELISA assays (e.g., MSD, Luminex)Culture and maintain complex cellular models to support safety screening and proof‑of‑mechanism studiesContribute to the development and optimization of cellular and immunoassay‑based safety assaysCollaborate closely with discovery toxicologists, medicinal chemists, and research scientists to help prioritize and de‑risk drug candidatesPerform routine data analysis, troubleshooting, and interpretation of experimental resultsMaintain accurate and compliant documentation, including electronic databases and laboratory notebooksStay current on relevant scientific literature and emerging assay technologiesPresent experimental findings at internal group and departmental meetings
