What do cell tissue engineers do?

Cell tissue engineers develop and manipulate biological tissues by combining cells, scaffolds, and growth factors to create functional tissue constructs. They work in laboratories, often using techniques like cell culture and bioprinting, to advance regenerative medicine and develop tissue replacements. Their work requires knowledge of biology, materials science, and engineering principles.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a cell tissue engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Cell Tissue Engineer, you need a strong background in biology, biomaterials, and tissue culture techniques, typically supported by a degree in biomedical engineering or a related field. Familiarity with laboratory equipment, cell imaging software, and regulatory standards such as GMP is essential. Critical thinking, attention to detail, and effective teamwork are standout soft skills in this role. These competencies ensure the successful development and translation of engineered tissues for medical applications, while maintaining safety and compliance.

What are some typical challenges faced by professionals in cell tissue engineering, and how do they collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to overcome them?

Professionals in cell tissue engineering often encounter challenges such as ensuring cell viability during scaffold fabrication, achieving consistent tissue growth, and meeting regulatory requirements for biomedical applications. To address these, they work closely with multidisciplinary teams that include biologists, materials scientists, and clinicians, leveraging their combined expertise to refine experimental protocols and develop innovative solutions. Effective communication and collaboration are essential, as projects frequently require integrating knowledge from multiple scientific domains to advance tissue engineering from the laboratory to clinical applications.

What is cell tissue engineering?

Cell tissue engineering is a multidisciplinary field that combines principles of biology, engineering, and materials science to create functional tissues or organs in the lab. The goal is to restore, maintain, or improve tissue functions that have been damaged by disease, injury, or congenital defects. This process often involves cultivating cells on specially designed scaffolds, providing them with the necessary biochemical and mechanical cues to form new, healthy tissues. Cell tissue engineering has wide applications in regenerative medicine, drug testing, and transplantation. The field continues to advance rapidly, offering new hope for treating conditions that were previously deemed untreatable.

Job description

California, US residents click here.
The job details are as follows:
Who We Are
We are the first publicly-traded biotech or pharmaceutical company to take the form of a public benefit corporation. Our public benefit purpose is to provide a brighter future for patients through the development of novel pharmaceutical therapies; and technologies that expand the availability of transplantable organs.
United Therapeutics (Nasdaq: UTHR) seeks to travel down the corridors of indifference to develop treatments for rare, deadly diseases. We were founded in 1996 by a family seeking a cure for their daughter's pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Today, we have six FDA-approved therapies that treat PAH, pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD) and neuroblastoma, a rare pediatric cancer. Our near-term pipeline seeks to develop additional therapies for PAH and pulmonary fibrosis (PF).
The cure for end-stage life-threatening diseases like PAH, PH-ILD, PF, and many others is an organ transplant, but only a small percentage of donated organs are available to address the vast need. For this reason, we are working to create manufactured organs to address the shortage of kidneys, hearts, lungs, and livers available for transplant. We believe an unlimited supply of tolerable, transplantable organs will eliminate the transplant waiting list and cure end-stage organ diseases for which transplant is not currently an option.
Who You Are
Think Lewis and Clark, but for living tissues. As a Scientist, Tissue Engineering, you'll venture into one of the most exciting frontiers in biotechnology: building functional, bioengineered human lung equivalents. You'll support pioneering research, navigate complex biological systems, and help transform ideas that once sounded like science fiction into realities that could save lives. For scientists who prefer the edge of discovery to the comfort of the known, this is an opportunity unlike any other.
The Scientist, Tissue Engineering in the Organ Manufacturing Group (OMG) will contribute to advancing tissue engineering strategies to create living 3D printed lung scaffolds in a multidisciplinary team environment. With guidance from the lead scientists, the Scientist will design and execute experiments to generate multicellular lung scaffolds, and will also develop analytical methods to assess the functionality of cellularized lung scaffolds
  • Design and execute in vitro experiments using adult and iPSC-derived lung cells (endothelial and epithelial) to develop functional tissue on 3D-printed models.
  • Develop and implement strategies and analytic assays to optimize culture systems, co-culture techniques, and large-scale bioreactors for pulmonary tissue engineering.
  • Develop and implement analytical assays (immunocytochemistry, biochemical assays, metabolic readings, perfusate analysis, gene expression analysis) to evaluate tissue formation and maturation on 3D printed models.
  • Record experimental details and findings in electronic notebook entries, write project reports, and internally present research findings.
  • Coordinate with supervisor for project directions, experimental planning, and to review results and progress.
  • Contribute to IP, regulatory filings, and journal publications, if necessary.
  • Maintain high level of communication with internal cross-functional R&D team, as well as external vendors and consultants.
  • Perform other duties as assigned.

Minimum Requirements
  • Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Biology, Biomedical Sciences, Tissue engineering, Bioengineering (or equivalent)
  • 3+ year(s) prior research experience in a field related to pulmonary biology, endothelial biology, iPSC-derived lineages, tissue engineering, and/or culturing cells in novel contexts. Relevant experiences during graduate school will be considered.
  • 2+ years of industry and/or postdoctoral training
  • Strong technical experience including imaging techniques (e.g. basic microscopy, confocal imaging, image analysis) and biological analytical assays (e.g. immunocytochemistry, gene expression analysis, ELISAs, flow cytometry, viability assays, etc)
  • Track record of success (publications, products, patents, grants, or fellowships) with minimum one first-author publication in a related or comparable field.
  • Experience in endothelial cell biology or vascular tissue engineering with supporting experience or knowledge of pulmonary biology, epithelial cells, and/or stem cell-derived lineages
  • Understanding of tissue engineering concepts and current field
  • In-depth knowledge of endothelial cells and biology Experience with cell-cell interactions, ECM production, or co-culture techniques
  • Ability to make appropriate recommendations for long term project plans based on scientific data
  • Familiarity with cell-blood interactions, thrombogenic and inflammatory responses
  • Experience with imaging and microscopy
  • Experience with perfusate analytics, secretome characterization, cellular metabolism, gene expression profiling, and cell-cell signaling applicable to complex tissue culture systems
  • Experience or interest in large-scale bioreactors or perfusion culture systems

Preferred Qualifications
  • 2+ years of experience in leading a project team with a track record of success (e.g. product, grants, and/or publications)
  • Methods to evaluate endothelial cell health in vitro (tube formation angiogenesis assay)
  • Proficient with microfluidics, bioreactor and/or other dynamic culture techniques
