Who is BlueRock?
BlueRock Therapeutics LP is a clinical stage cell therapy harnessing the power of cell therapy to create a pipeline of new medicines for people suffering from neurological and ophthalmic diseases. Two of our novel investigational cell therapies, bemdaneprocel (BRT-DA01) for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease and OpCT-001 for the treatment of primary photoreceptor diseases are clinical stage programs. BlueRock was founded in 2016 as a joint venture of Versant Ventures and Leaps by Bayer. Our culture is defined by the courage to persist regardless of the challenge, the urgency to transform medicine and deliver hope, integrity guided by mission, and community-mindedness with the understanding that we are all part of something bigger than ourselves.
What Are We Doing?
Our foundational science harnesses the ability to create and then direct the differentiation of universal pluripotent stem cells into authentic, functional cells that can be used as allogeneic cellular therapies to treat a broad array of diseases. We can also further engineer these cells, enabling them to produce enzymes, antibodies, and other proteins for additional therapeutic benefit.
We are passionate about delivering on the promise of cellular and gene therapy, shaping the future of cellular medicine, and delivering new therapies to millions of patients with treatment options.
We are seeking individuals who are collaborative, thrive in a fun and dynamic culture, and are steadfast in the commitment to advance cutting-edge cellular therapies to impact patients’ lives.
The successful candidate in the Co-op role will support the Analytical Development (AD) function within the Analytical and Quality Control Department (A&QC) for cell-based therapeutics destined for human clinical trials, from starting materials to final differentiated cell therapy. The Co-op student will assist in the development, transfer, qualification, or routine use of analytical methods. As such, this role is predominantly lab-based and on-site. The role will also support lab and office operations, material and sample management, and maintenance of analytical instrumentation. Duties will also include writing and reviewing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), reports, and other related documents. If you are a passionate individual and want to gain hands-on experience in a cutting-edge biotech industry, we encourage you to apply.
