About this role As Senior Scientist/Associate Director, Target Validation, you will be the lead scientist translating computationally derived target hypotheses into functional biology evidence. Working closely with ML engineers and computational biologists, you will receive platform derived multi-omic target packages, understand the biological hypothesis they encode, and design and execute cell perturbation experiments that validate efficacy and mechanism of action. This role combines hands-on execution and immediate line management responsibility, with the opportunity to build your own Target Validation team in line with company growth. You will establish iPSC-derived neuronal and glial models of neurological diseases, in which you will use siRNA/CRISPR-based functional genomic approaches to interrogate target biology. You will generate and interpret transcriptomic and proteomic readouts to build mechanistic understanding of how target perturbation affects disease-relevant cellular phenotypes. Feeding findings back into the computational platform, closing the hypothesis-functional biology loop that transforms the proprietary target discovery engine from linear outputs to iterative biological design. What you will do Computational Target Interpretation & Experimental Design/Execution • Receive computational target packages from the Platform team and critically evaluate functional genomic evidence, multi-omics integration results, and prioritisation rationale., • Translate computational hypotheses into experimentally testable research questions - defining cellular model system, perturbation strategy, readout, and success criteria for each target., • Participate in target review meetings, providing experimental feasibility input and challenging computational assumptions/outputs based on biological knowledge., • Contribute to target prioritisation decisions by providing experimental perspective on tractability, model system relevance, and expected timeline to meaningful data. iPSC-Derived Neuronal & Glial Disease Modelling • Maintain, differentiate, and characterise iPSC-derived cell lines relevant to Alzheimer's disease: neuronal, astrocytes, microglia, and co-culture systems as appropriate., • Develop and qualify disease relevant phenotypes as target biology demands, drawing on established literature and in-house expertise., • Apply disease-relevant stressors, genetic variants, and cellular perturbations to model the mechanistic contexts in which target biology operates., • Maintain rigorous quality control of iPSC lines including karyotyping, identity verification, and pluripotency / lineage characterisation to ensure reproducibility. CRISPR Functional Screening & Perturbation • Design and execute CRISPR-based perturbation experiments - knockout, CRISPRi, CRISPRa to interrogate the functional role of computationally nominated targets., • Develop and implement pooled or arrayed CRISPR screening approaches to interrogate multiple targets or regulatory elements in parallel where throughput demands it., • Validate perturbation efficiency at both DNA and RNA/protein level, establishing appropriate control conditions to ensure experimental rigour., • Design screening readouts that capture disease-relevant phenotypes: transcriptomic shifts, protein aggregation, synaptic markers, inflammatory signatures, or epigenetic state changes. Platform Integration & Cross-Functional Communication • Work closely with the Platform team to ensure experimental findings are captured in a form that updates and refines computational models - closing the wet lab to algorithm feedback loop., • Contribute to experimental data capture in in-house management system, maintaining records to the standard required for a drug discovery programme., • Present experimental findings clearly to a mixed computational and scientific audience, including at external partner/advisor meetings or in due diligence contexts., • Contribute to publications and patent filings where appropriate.
