We are seeking an accomplished Scientist to lead the development of targeted lipid nanoparticle (LNP) formulations within our fast-paced, cross-functional R&D organization.

In this role, you will advance the science of LNP self-assembly, engineer delivery systems for small- and large-molecule payloads beyond the liver and leverage state-of-the-art analytical techniques to establish structure–function relationships that drive biological performance.

You will also integrate high-throughput formulation, laboratory automation, and AI/ML-enabled approaches to accelerate LNP discovery and support data-driven decision-making across multidisciplinary research programs.

Drive research programs on targeted, extra-hepatic LNP delivery—from hypothesis generation through in-vitro / in-vivo evaluation

Develop and optimize LNP self-assembly processes; refine composition, payload loading, and surface modifications for tissue and cell-type specificity

Advance LNP formulation discovery by leveraging high-throughput formulation, automation, and AI/ML-enabled data analysis to accelerate innovation, optimize formulations, and drive data-informed decision-making across multidisciplinary teams
