Partner with the bioinformatics team to translate vector designs into screening platforms.
Execute rAAV production protocols and expand our understanding of AAV biology to inform novel vector optimizations.
Collaborate with cross-functional team members, collaborators in analytical groups, and core facilities across Research and Discovery.
Participate in team meetings and prepare regular updates and presentations for departmental forums.

This role may be a good fit if you:
