Turbine’s Virtual Lab (vLab®) enables scientists to run Virtual Assays across millions of biological conditions far beyond traditional laboratory throughput. Instead of narrowing hypotheses to fit experimental constraints, scientists can explore the broader biological search space computationally before deciding what to validate in the wet lab. Turbine doesn’t replace the wet lab. It makes every experiment count. Through an integrated lab-in-the-loop workflow, virtual findings become testable hypotheses, with validation results feeding back to strengthen subsequent predictions within the workflow.\nIn deployed programs, Turbine has reduced decision timelines from 12-18 months to approximately two months while cutting wet-lab experiments by more than 50%.\nWorking with scientists at leading biopharma like MSD (Merck & Co.), AstraZeneca and Bayer, Turbine’s virtual assays have rationalized experiments across more than 30 discovery programs.\nBacked by leading tech and industry investors like Accel, MSD Global Health Innovation Fund, Interactive Venture Partners and Beiersdorf, Turbine is turning biology into an engineering discipline.\nThe role\nAs a Lab Scientist, you are responsible for independent experimentation and consistent delivery on delegated tasks under the supervision of senior staff members.\nYou have a reliable skillset in molecular biology and cell biology tools, which you will utilize regularly to execute and troubleshoot in vitro experiments.\nYou are able to critically analyze your own experimental results and integrate these insights into the ongoing work. Accurate, up-to-date documentation is a key component of your workflow, ensuring transparency and reproducibility.\nThe Lab Scientist also supports laboratory automation workflows to make sure everything is prepared such as drug solutions, labware and other consumables.\nResponsibilities\nMammalian cell culture maintenance, biobanking and related reagent preparations\nPreparation and performance of in vitro experiments planned together with Lead Scientists\nSupporting laboratory robotic automation workflows with preparations, both logistically and with digital documentation\nEmbracing novel assay developments with reliable execution\nReporting of results through Electronic Lab Notebook system and presentations to the wider team\nRequirements\nSkills\nBachelors/Masters in biology, bioengineering or medical sciences with a few years of wet laboratory experience\nExpert in cell culturing of secondary cancer cell lines, ideally experience with primary culture or iPSCs\nBasic molecular biology and cell biology experience (e.g. plate reader-based assays, siRNA transfection, microscopy etc.)\nExcellent digital skills using Excel, Powerpoint, GraphPad, ideally even some programming skills with Python or SQL\nHigh-quality documentation skills to generate standard operational protocols\nMinimal knowledge about statistics and data science is considered a strong advantage\nSoft Skills\nConsistent and reliable quality on delivery\nCurious and driven about scientific findings\nExcellent time management\nA team player with a strong sense of ownership and willingness to help others\nYou are a Turbiner if\nYou are self-aware and committed to personal growth \nYou seek out feedback, learn from mistakes and apply what you learned \nYou take responsibility and focus on outcomes over tasks \nYou focus on shared success and challenge others respectfully to get the best outcome \nYou are in it for the long haul and share our passion for the mission","description_format":"text","description_chars":3685,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Machine
