Position Overview We are seeking a Scientist/Senior Scientist with expertise in lipid nanoparticle (LNP) formulation and application of LNPs to mouse models to join our LNP Discovery team focused on developing non-viral delivery systems for cystic fibrosis therapies. This role involves designing and characterizing LNPs for in vivo delivery of Prime Editor RNA molecules, with hands-on in vivo work in pulmonary delivery studies. The role offers opportunities across the full spectrum of LNP development, from formulation to in vivo delivery, within a collaborative cross-functional program team. We are looking for curious problem solvers who thrive on fast-paced, exciting projects and are passionate about developing genetic editing technologies to improve human health. The ideal candidate will be onsite five days a week in Cambridge, MA. Primary Responsibilities

Design and formulate LNPs using microfluidics; characterize using DLS, zeta potential, pKa, and Ribogreen assays. Execute and support in vivo studies focused on pulmonary delivery of LNP formulations, including intratracheal delivery in preclinical models. Collaborate with internal teams on study design, execution, data collection, and interpretation. Support downstream analyses using flow cytometry and molecular biology techniques. Collaborate cross-functionally to integrate in vivo findings into delivery platform development. Present data in written reports and oral presentations. Qualifications

PhD in Biomedical/Chemical Engineering, Biochemistry, or related field with 0-2 years of relevant experience (or BS+8, MS+6). Experience with lipid nanoparticle (LNP) formulation, QC, and characterization techniques. Hands-on experience with mouse handling, dosing, and tissue collection; intratracheal delivery strongly preferred. Familiarity with molecular biology techniques (e.g., qPCR, DNA sequencing, mammalian cell culture, and flow cytometry). Strong organizational and critical thinking skills, attention to detail, and ability to work independently and in a team. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills to thrive in a cross-functional setting. Prime Medicine is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
