Job Summary:
Maman Biomedical is seeking a motivated Research Scientist under the Mitacs Accelerate program to join our innovation team. The successful candidate will play a crucial role in advancing our novel formulations by designing and executing in vitro and in vivo experiments. This position offers the opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research in reproductive biology, focusing on cell viability, toxicity, oocyte development, and animal model development for safety and efficacy validation.
Key Responsibilities:
- In Vitro Experimental Design:
- Design and execute experiments to assess the cell viability and toxicity of novel formulations.
- Develop and implement assays to evaluate the efficacy of formulations in stimulating oocyte development.
- Troubleshoot experimental challenges and optimize protocols as necessary.
In Vivo Model Development:
- Develop and validate animal models to assess the safety and efficacy of novel formulations.
- Conduct in vivo pharmacology and pharmacodynamic studies to understand the therapeutic potential and mechanism of action of the formulations.
- Prepare and manage Animal Use Protocols (AUPs), ensuring ethical and scientific justification for animal use, compliance with regulatory standards, and humane treatment of animals.
Collaboration and Coordination:
- Work closely with colleagues, consultants, and external partners to design and coordinate development and regulatory plans.
- Participate in the planning and execution of proof-of-concept studies, pre-clinical animal studies, and clinical trials.
Data Analysis and Reporting:
- Analyze experimental data, interpret results, and prepare detailed reports and presentations for internal and external stakeholders.
- Contribute to the preparation of regulatory documents and publications.
Qualifications:
- MSc or PhD in Biology, Pharmacology, Reproductive Biology, or a related field.
- Experienced in cell viability, toxicity assays, and efficacy studies in vitro.
- Experience with animal model development and in vivo experimentation.
- Familiarity with the preparation and management of Animal Use Protocols (AUPs) and compliance with ethical and regulatory standards.
- Ability to troubleshoot and optimize experimental protocols.
- Strong organizational and communication skills, with the ability to work independently and as part of a team.
