Hepatology Scientist

Job Description

One of our large pharmaceutical clients is actively hiring a Hepatology Scientist to join their R&D Team. Primary goal of this project is to develop robust and reproducible human primary cell-derived complex in vitro model for steatotic liver disease demonstrating the fibrotic and inflammatory response to steatotic liver disease stimuli.

We are seeking a PhD-level scientist to support experimental research within the Hepatology team, with a primary focus on macrophage biology and co-culture model development. The successful candidate will design and execute laboratory experiments to progress a macrophage-fibroblast co-culture system, contributing to ongoing liver fibrosis modeling initiatives.

This role involves hands-on laboratory work, experimental design, data analysis, and close collaboration with internal scientific stakeholders.

-Design, develop, and execute macrophage-based co-culture assays to support liver fibrosis modeling

-Perform in-vitro experiments involving macrophages and fibroblasts, including co-culture system optimization

-Generate proof-of-concept data demonstrating fibrotic macrophage activation of liver fibroblasts

-Utilize flow cytometry and imaging techniques to characterize immune cell populations and cellular responses

-Analyze, interpret, and document experimental data to inform model development and decision-making

-Collaborate with hepatology and disease area scientists to align experimental outcomes with project objectives

-Contribute to experimental planning, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement of assay workflows
