- Report and collaborate with other members of the consortium.
Qualifications :
- Ph.D. in biology or molecular biology
- Strong Experience in Single-cell RNA sequencing
- Strong background in molecular biology, NGS experiments and analysis.
- Background in single cells experiment (10x, flow cytometer.)
- Appetite for bench work & wet lab
- Appetite for challenging project
- Background in Bioinformatic
- Familiarity with statistical software (Prism, Spotfire, other…)
- Fluent in English
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Experience with Recombinant AAV is a plus.
- Knowledge in organoids/tissues preparation is a plus.
- Experience in screening is a plus.
- Background in Droplet microfluidic is optional.
The Project Team:
A dedicated team was created in 2024 to tackle this challenging project. The team is composed of one researcher, one engineer and one technician.
The Lab:
Our innovative Team (~8 people) is based in Vitry-Sur-Seine (Suburbs of Paris) at Sanofi R&D site. We have two laboratories (L1 & L2) dedicated to droplet microfluidic technology, with access to diverse technologies (ARIA Fusion (FACS), PCR, qPCR and NextSeq Illumina).
Better is out there. Better medications, better outcomes, better science. But progress doesn’t happen without people – people from different backgrounds, in different locations, doing different roles, all united by one thing: a desire to make miracles happen. So, let’s be those people.
At Sanofi, we provide equal opportunities to all regardless of race, colour, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, ability or gender identity.
