CellTherapy, Inc. is an early stage biopharmaceutical company located in San
Diego, California. We specialize in the development of autologous immune
cell-based therapies for treatment of human disease. Currently, we have two
products ready for human clinical testing, a polyclonal Th1 memory cell
therapy for treatment of cancer and a polyclonal Th2 memory cell therapy for
treatment of autoimmune disease. We have broad patents pending on these
products and the process that permits us to differentiate and expand these
regulatory cells ex-vivo without the use of exogenous cytokines or feeder
cells.
Through a joint venture agreement with a major hospital in Tijuana, Mexico, we
are establishing a cell processing center to produce these products under a US
IND for use in human clinical trials in the US. We are seeking an experienced
immunologist for a minimum one year appointment to head a project to fully
characterize the cells that result from our production process. This position
could also lead to permanent employment.
The successful candidate will have a PhD in Immunology or related discipline
and at least 3 years of post-doctoral training. Candidates should have
extensive cell culture experience and hands on familiarity with internal
cytokine staining, FACS staining and analysis, ELISA, RT-PCR, cytotoxicity
assays and other T-cell functional assays.
