Key Responsibilities • Lead research programs focused on neuroinflammation, innate/adaptive immune signaling, and inflammasome activation; • Investigate key cytokine and immune-regulatory pathways to uncover therapeutic opportunities; • Establish and optimize in vitro (primary microglia, macrophages, T cells) and in vivo models for immune activation, neuroinflammation, and cytokine modulation; • Develop and implement robust immunological assays such as flow cytometry, ELISA, cytokine multiplex profiling, immunofluorescence, qPCR, Western blotting, and RNA sequencing; • Collaborate with chemistry and pharmacology teams to assess candidate molecules’ effects on cytokine release, immune cell polarization (M1/M2, Th1/Th2 balance), and neuroimmune crosstalk; • Contribute to target validation, biomarker identification, and mechanistic differentiation of therapeutic candidates; • Continuously track the latest advances in immunology, neuroinflammation, immune metabolism, and cytokine signaling, integrating insights into the company’s R&D pipeline

Qualifications • Ph.D. in Immunology, Molecular Biology or related fields; • Minimum 3–5 years of postdoctoral or industry experience in inflammation, neuroimmunology, or cytokine-pathway research; • Strong scientific foundation in immune-inflammatory signaling (e.g., IL-4/IL-13– STAT6 axis, NLRP3 inflammasome, NF-κB, JAK-STAT pathways); • Proven expertise in cell-based and animal models of inflammation or immune regulation; • Proficiency in immunoassays, molecular biology, and data interpretation; • Excellent analytical skills and ability to communicate complex biological concepts clearly; • Strong English writing and presentation skills. • Candidates with prior experience in protein degrader development, autoimmune pipeline discovery or neuroinflammation research will be given strong preference
