About Capstan TherapeuticsCapstan Therapeutics, Inc. is a privately held biotechnology company dedicated to advancing in vivo cell reprogramming. The core platform technology comprises proprietary targeted lipid nanoparticles (tLNPs) that are composed of LNPs conjugated with a recombinant protein binder, such as a monoclonal antibody. tLNPs are designed to deliver payloads, including mRNA or gene editing tools, capable of reprogramming specific cell types in vivo. The platform technology has the potential to generate transformative therapies with possible applications across a broad range of disease areas, including oncology, autoimmune disorders, fibrosis, and monogenic blood disorders. The OpportunityThe Scientist I, Preclinical Bioanalytical will play a key role in the pre-clinical team developing and applying a broad range of assays to support product testing in a broad range of preclinical models. In addition, this position will work closely with Translational Medicine to identify, qualify, and transfer analyses that will be utilized in clinical development setting.
