Company Background

Codiak Biosciences is leveraging recent advances in the biology of extracellular vesicles and their role in intercellular communication.  Codiak aims to become the world’s leading company in developing exosomes as a new therapeutic and diagnostic modality for the treatment of a wide array of diseases, including cancer. Recent discoveries have demonstrated that exosomes derived from normal cells can act as a potent and safe delivery system for multiple therapeutic payloads. These small vesicles, which leave cells and travel throughout the body, can mediate dramatic effects in animal models of disease.  The group has also shown that exosomes derived from cancer cells contain specific proteins on their surface that can be used to quickly detect and characterize cancer from a sample of patient’s blood. They can also be used to monitor the response to cancer treatment, and to detect relapses.

Position Description:  Research Associate - Cell Culture

Codiak Biosciences is seeking a upstream scientist/biochemical engineer to help develop the company’s novel cell culture bioprocessing platform.  Responsibilities will include providing technical/scientific expertise and lab support in all upstream areas, such as cell line development, clone selection, cell banking, inoculum expansion, bioreactor operation, high throughput technology, cell characterization, media development, etc.  Background in downstream processing, bioanalytics and cell-based assays, will be a plus.  Understanding of exosome biology, isolation and characterization will be an additional advantage.  This is a unique opportunity for a strong scientist/biochemical engineer to contribute experimentally and intellectually to both early- and late-stage development of Codiak’s novel exosome production platform.  As part of a start-up, the candidate will be uniquely exposed to the full range of company activities within and outside the lab.

Qualifications

The candidate will have a degree in cell biology, biochemical engineering or a similar discipline.  The successful candidate will have the ability to work well independently, or as part of the growing Codiak team, and be able to quickly design and execute thoughtful experiments.  Additional qualifications include excellent interpersonal and presentation skills.

The Company:

Flexion Therapeutics (NASDAQ: FLXN) is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of novel non-opioid pain therapies. The company is currently advancing a portfolio of injectable drug candidates that have the potential to provide better and more persistent analgesia compared with existing therapies.

The company’s lead program, FX006, is an intra-articular sustained release steroid injectable in Phase 3 development for patients with moderate to severe osteoarthritis (OA) pain. We also have two additional product candidates: FX007, a locally administered TrkA receptor antagonist for post-operative pain, and FX005, an intra-articular, sustained-release p38 MAP kinase inhibitor for end-stage OA patients.

Responsibilities:-
Deep impact, on important biomedical research projects: Develop image analysis pipelines using CellProfiler, working in-depth with brilliant biomedical researchers to push forward the boundaries of what can be extracted from high-throughput imaging experiments.  We collaborate with dozens of biomedical research laboratories to identify disease states, potential therapeutics, and gene functions from microscopy images.

Broad impact, supporting the CellProfiler community:
- Support thousands of CellProfiler users worldwide by answering questions at our popular online forum. Deliver educational workshops on image analysis and the usage of CellProfiler (including traveling 5+ days/year).

Grow:
- Opportunity for advancement, taking on administration and management of the team’s many projects.  B. S.  in science (PhD not required, although postdoctoral candidates will be considered) Strong understanding of biology  Significant experience using image processing software on biological assays  

A personality that is helpful, professional, highly organized, and goal-oriented, efficiently juggling projects and competing demands

Able to clearly communicate with biology collaborators about project aims and results, and with software engineers on the team about image processing and software needs
