Research Associate, Molecular Biology

EARLI

<div><div>Earli is a BioAI therapeutics firm in Redwood City, California that programs cancer to turn against itself. Cancer cells become hyperlocal factories for potent immune therapies that are otherwise too toxic to be used systemically. Earli AI-designs synthetic genetic switches that are intravenously injected but ONLY activate in cancer cells, using non-integrating DNA in a stealth LNP. Once activated, they force the cancer cells to produce encoded proteins &ndash; T cell engagers, cytokines, agonists &ndash; that activate the immune system to kill the cancer. The hyperlocal activation avoids on-target/off-tumor effects and drives up the therapeutic index. Instead of focusing on where the drug goes, Earli changes where the drug is produced.

We accelerate foundational research, catalyze bold ideas, develop tools and models, and openly share our science to make a broad, transformational impact on the world.
The mission of the Allen Institute for Brain Science is to accelerate the understanding of how the human brain works in health and disease. Using a big science approach, we generate useful public resources, drive technological and analytical advances, and discover fundamental brain properties through the integration of experiments, modeling, and theory.
The Imaging department within Brain Science is a team of 20 research associates, scientists, and data analysts, who prepare brain tissue specimens and operate commercial and customized optical systems to collect and interpret data serving a wide variety of scientific work at the institute. To facilitate the study of cellular full morphology, projectome, and connectome within the mouse brain, we plan to generate high value data sets that capture molecular specific labeling of cellular structures that span large three-dimensional volumes of the brain via the custom built ExaSPIM light sheet microscope.
Experimental approaches include tissue clearing/expansion, RNA and protein localization in intact brains, and microscopy. We seek an individual who will take responsibility for key tasks and work closely with other team members to achieve the team's goals.
