About the Company
Crescenta is a biotechnology company dedicated to developing novel therapies for metabolic and autoimmune diseases and cancer. We are advancing a pipeline of proprietary drug candidates through preclinical and clinical development. We are seeking a motivated and highly organized Research Associate / Lab Manager to join our R&D team. This is a hands-on scientific position combining responsibilities for conducting preclinical laboratory research with oversight of the day-to-day operation and organization of the laboratory.

Position Summary
The successful candidate will perform and support laboratory studies evaluating small-molecule drug candidates, working closely with senior scientists and company leadership. In parallel, the individual will help ensure that the laboratory operates efficiently, safely, and in accordance with established procedures.

This position is particularly well suited for a scientist who enjoys hands-on experimental work while taking ownership of laboratory operations in a dynamic, collaborative biotechnology environment.

Key Responsibilities
· Perform cell-based and biochemical assays to characterize drug candidates and investigate their biological effects.
· Maintain mammalian cell cultures and perform routine cell-based experimental procedures.
· Prepare reagents, solutions, samples, and other materials required for laboratory studies.
· Collect, organize, analyze, and summarize experimental data.
· Maintain complete, accurate, and timely laboratory records and experimental documentation.
· Present and discuss experimental results with the scientific team.
· Assist with development, optimization, and troubleshooting of experimental protocols and assays.
· Operate laboratory equipment and help coordinate routine maintenance, calibration, and service as needed.
· Support laboratory inventory, ordering, organization, and appropriate storage of reagents and supplies.
· Assist with sample preparation, tracking, and shipment to external collaborators and contract research organizations (CROs).
· Work collaboratively with internal team members, consultants, CROs, and other external research partners.


Qualifications
Required
· BS or MS in Biology, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Pharmacology, or a related field.
· At least 3 years of relevant hands-on laboratory experience in a biotechnology, pharmaceutical, or comparable research setting.
· Experience with mammalian cell culture and cell-based assays.
· Ability to independently follow protocols, troubleshoot routine issues, and maintain accurate records.
· Strong organizational, communication, and time-management skills.
· Ability to manage multiple priorities and work independently within a collaborative team.


Preferred
· Background in preclinical small-molecule drug discovery.
· Experience with flow cytometry, ELISA, qPCR, immunofluorescence, or related techniques.
· Experience managing laboratory inventory, purchasing, equipment, safety, or SOPs.
· Experience working with CROs, vendors, or service providers.
