Model Development: Contribute to the design and
characterization of disease-relevant murine models, including
biochemical and pharmacological manipulations.
Assay Development: Support the development of cellular
and biochemical assays to complement in vivo findings.
Data Analysis & Interpretation: Analyze complex
datasets from in vivo and in vitro experiments; present findings to
cross-functional teams and industrial biotech. partners.
Collaboration: Work closely with scientists across
disciplines including immunology, molecular biology, and
bioinformatics to integrate findings.
Scientific Communication: Publish results in
peer-reviewed journals and present at internal and external
scientific meetings.
Qualifications and Skills

biochemistry, immunology, or related field, with a strong focus
on murine myopathy models.
- Demonstrated experience in in vivo
experimentation, including animal handling, dosing, tissue
collection, and phenotypic analysis.
- Familiarity with translational assays and molecular
techniques (e.g., Multiparameter Flow Cytometry,
