Do you want to be part of a talented, highly motivated, and diverse team seeking to push boundaries of science and make an impact on improving patients' lives? Nuage Therapeutics is a biotech company, a spin-off of the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB) Barcelona and ICREA. Nuage Tx develops potent and selective drugs targeting disease-related proteins with disordered regions previously considered undruggable, exploiting cutting-edge knowledge in biomolecular condensation. Nuage Tx's expertise is derived from the research conducted by its scientific co-founders: Xavier Salvatella (Principal Investigator, Laboratory of Molecular Biophysics at IRB Barcelona), Denes Hnisz (Principal Investigator, Precision Gene Control group at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics in Berlin) and Mateusz Biesaga (Head of Technology at Nuage Therapeutics). Judit Anido is a co-founder and CEO at Nuage Tx (formerly co-founder and CEO at Mosaic Biomedicals and VP of Operations at Northern Biologics). Nuage Therapeutics is supported by leading venture capital firms investing in the sector of life sciences, including Sofinnova Partners and Asabys Partners. The company is based in Barcelona, Spain, in the Barcelona Science Park (Parc Científic de Barcelona, PCB), where its R&D lab and offices are located.
As part of Nuage Tx's growth plan we are seeking a motivated and proactive Laboratory Technician with experience in cell and molecular biology. Strong communication skills to work in an interdisciplinary team and good command of spoken and written English are required. The Laboratory Technician will join Nuage Tx's R&D team and report to the Head of Science.
Key duties Plan, execute and analyze cell biology and molecular biology experiments (i.e. gene reporter assays, RT-qPCR, cell viability assays) guided by scientists in the R&D team. Culture mammalian cell lines. Keep data organized. Report the results in the electronic lab notebook and to the supervisor as requested. Support key organizational tasks in the laboratory, such as keeping the laboratory organized, managing stocks and experimental compounds. Requirements and selection criteria: Higher National Diploma (FP2) or bachelor's degree in biomedical science or related field. 2+ years of experience in a biomedical laboratory working on molecular biology and cell biology with mammalian cell lines. Work experience in the private sector will be positively valued. Prior experience in transcriptomics will be positively valued (RT-qPCR, mRNA-seq, CHIP-seq…). Prior experience in other molecular biology techniques will be positively valued (protein extraction and quantification, WB, immunofluorescence…). Ability to perform the experiments in a systematic and precise manner. Efficient time management and capability to deliver high-quality results according to the timelines. Flexibility to sporadically support other teams and predisposition to learn new techniques. Proactivity, strong interpersonal skills and ability to work in a dynamic multidisciplinary team.
