Summary
Biotech R&D — wet-lab discovery and translational science for biologics and cell/gene therapy programs, spanning mammalian cell culture, CRISPR-based cell engineering, molecular biology, and functional immune assays from antigen design through hit identification, lead selection, and IND-enabling studies. Distinct from computational/bioinformatics-only focuses (here NGS analysis supports bench programs) and from process/CMC manufacturing focuses (here the emphasis is discovery experimentation and program science, not GMP production scale-up). The Management track owns people leadership, lab operations, program timelines, CRO/vendor oversight, and scientific strategy rather than primarily executing experiments.
