Job Description

Our mission is to develop therapies that empower the immune system to combat neurodegeneration and our team is focused on developing treatments for some of the most challenging diseases facing our society. By harnessing advancements in genetics, immunology and neuroscience, we are pioneering the development of potential therapies to counteract the devastating progression of neurodegeneration. We are supported in this mission by experienced and accomplished scientists and clinicians, a novel portfolio of programs, leading healthcare investors, and pharma company partners, who share in our commitment to bettering the lives of patients and realizing a world where we make brain disorders history.

As a Scientist on our Biology team, you will design and execute in vitro studies and analytical assays that help us evaluate potential therapeutics for neurodegenerative diseases. You will work with advanced cellular models, process in vivo and in vitro samples, and generate high-quality data that inform pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD), efficacy, safety, proof-of-concept (POC), and mechanism-of-action (MOA) studies.

You’ll collaborate closely with colleagues across Biology, ADPE, and Preclinical teams to advance our programs. We value scientific curiosity, thoughtful experimentation, and the ability to adapt as our science and priorities evolve.
