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.

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 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 treatments for tissue damage or organ failure.

Job description

Scientist, Tissue Engineering (Organ Manufacturing Group)Responsibilities
  • 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 in electronic notebook entries, write project reports, and internally present research findings.
  • Coordinate with supervisor on project directions, experimental planning, and progress review.
  • Contribute to IP, regulatory filings, and journal publications, if necessary.
  • Maintain communication with internal cross-functional R&D team and external vendors/consultants.
  • Perform other duties as assigned.
Minimum Requirements
  • PhD in Biology, Biomedical Sciences, Tissue Engineering, Bioengineering (or equivalent).
  • 3+ years prior research experience related to pulmonary biology, endothelial biology, iPSC-derived lineages, tissue engineering, and/or novel cell culturing contexts (graduate experience considered).
  • 2+ years industry and/or postdoctoral training.
  • Strong technical experience: imaging (microscopy, confocal, image analysis) and biological analytical assays (immunocytochemistry, gene expression analysis, ELISAs, flow cytometry, viability assays, etc.).
  • Track record of success with at least one first-author publication.
  • Experience in endothelial cell biology/vascular tissue engineering with knowledge of pulmonary biology, epithelial cells, and/or stem cell-derived lineages.
  • Understanding of tissue engineering concepts and field.
  • Knowledge of endothelial biology/cell-cell interactions, ECM production, or co-culture.
  • Ability to recommend long-term project plans based on scientific data.
  • Familiarity with cell-blood interactions, thrombogenic and inflammatory responses.
  • Experience with perfusate analytics, secretome characterization, cellular metabolism, gene expression profiling, and cell-cell signaling in complex tissue culture systems.
  • Experience or interest in large-scale bioreactors/perfusion culture.
Preferred Qualifications
  • 2+ years leading a project team (e.g., products, grants, and/or publications).
  • Methods to evaluate endothelial cell health in vitro (tube formation/angiogenesis assay).
  • Proficiency with microfluidics, bioreactors, and/or dynamic culture techniques.
Location

- Fully onsite in Manchester, NH.
