Researcher I Department: Midnight Sun Technologies - FDA Location: Silver Spring, MD, USA Employment Type: Full Time Title: Researcher I Location: Silver Spring, MD Status: Full-Time Position Summary: Midnight Sun Technologies is looking to hire a Researcher I. A primary mission at FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research is to protect and advance public health by ensuring the safety and efficacy of biotherapeutics, including gene therapies and cell therapies. To support this mission, the Division of Cellular and Gene Therapies (DCGT) within the Office of Tissues and Advanced Therapies (OTAT) is working on developing methods and tools for evaluating safety of gene and cell therapy products involving genome editing technology. At present, issues of gene and cell therapy safety assessment include: (i) a lack of physiologically relevant cellular system that can evaluate side effects of genome editing tools on genome and epigenome, (ii) demand for in vitro cellular assay to determine effect of editors on stem cell differentiation and proliferation, (iii) demand for development of robust and sensitive in vivo assays of RNA editing. This work will help address these issues by developing a stem cell-based method for detecting unintended genome and transcriptome modifications following expression of genome editing tools, as well as in vitro and in vivo assays for understanding biological consequences of the unintended modifications. Developing this methodology will facilitate qualification of safety evaluation tools for developing genome editing-based advanced therapy products. Duties/Responsibilities:
