Associate Scientist @ Orna Therapeutics
About
Biotech research scientist with 5+ years of experience in immunology, RNA-based gene delivery, and translational research. I specialize in designing and executing complex immunological studies — from high-parameter flow cytometry and NHP pharmacology to LNP-delivered RNA CAR-T programs — generating high-quality datasets that directly inform preclinical and clinical program strategy.Most recently at ORNA Therapeutics and ReNAgade Therapeutics, I’ve executed large-scale longitudinal NHP studies, co-authored regulatory-grade technical reports, and contributed to both oncology and autoimmune CAR-T programs. I thrive in fast-paced environments where scientific rigor, ownership, and cross-functional collaboration matter. Core areas: Flow cytometry (16-color, spectral) · RNA-LNP delivery · In vitro & in vivo CAR-T characterization · Multiplex cytokine profiling · ELISpot · CRISPR-Cas9 · NHP tissue processing · Primary immune cell culture Currently open to Senior Associate Scientist or Associate Scientist roles in immunology, discovery, translational, preclinical, or clinical research. Open to connecting — feel free to reach out.

Experience

Associate Scientist
United States
• Executed large-scale longitudinal NHP pharmacology and biodistribution studies (25–30 animals, 2–5 months) for a circRNA CAR-T program; developed and optimized high-parameter flow panels and performed high-dimensional data analysis • Evaluated RNA transgene expression from LNP and electroporation delivery in primary human and cynomolgus T cells • Co-authored technical reports for pre-clinical regulatory filings; collaborated cross-functionally to define study endpoints and program strategy • Presented data to program leadership and companywide stakeholders to drive candidate prioritization and experimental direction • Generated large-scale CAR⁺ T cell batches for CRO clinical assay optimization; developed assays to evaluate CAR stability in Cyto-Chex tubes across multiple timepoints

Associate Scientist
United States
• Designed, executed, and analyzed experiments for an in vivo LNP-delivered RNA CAR-T program targeting oncology and autoimmune indications • Optimized 3 comprehensive flow cytometry panels (antibody titration, FMO controls); performed large-scale longitudinal analysis (FlowJo/Prism) supporting go/no-go decisions • Executed NHP studies for in vivo RNA CAR-T: tissue processing, immunophenotyping, and high-dimensional analysis demonstrating B-cell depletion and CAR expression • Optimized ELISpot and multiplex cytokine profiling assays; served as Attune NxT Super User managing instrument maintenance and troubleshooting • Mentored junior scientists in primary cell isolation, immunostaining, and data acquisition; coordinated cross-functional sample collection logistics

Senior Research Associate
United States
• Optimized MLR and cytokine assays to characterize LILRB2/4 antagonist activity in primary T cells and macrophages • Applied CRISPR-Cas9 for B2M knockout and target validation in THP-1 cell lines • Managed Luminex cytokine assay data within ELNs for cross-functional reporting; directed intern training in cell culture and multiplex assays

Laboratory Technician
India
• Improved the process of iron staining and MPO (Myeloperoxidase). Performed Test for antibodies • Operated Neo immocor, fully automated and optimize the workload by giving quality test results for forward and reverse blood grouping • CD4 count by Caliber- FACs. Partial thromboplastin time (PT) and Activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) to examine speed of blood clotting using Acl-top. • Urine examination by UC-3500 and UF-5000 • CBC count using ADVIA 2120 • Other manual test: Fibrin Degradation products, Indirect and direct coombs test, Treponema pallidum hemagglutination assay, Microfilaria test, Malaria parasite by digital cytometry using Sight machine, Blood group using slide and tube method.
