Zag Bio was founded with a vision to develop more precise, potent, and impactful medicines for immune-mediated diseases. Zag Bio is working to discover and develop therapies targeted directly to the thymus, with the goal of generating central immune tolerance.
Our technology platform is inspired by the work of co-founder Diane Mathis of Harvard Medical School and operates across multiple therapeutic platforms, underpinned by a deep technical interrogation of thymus biology. In addition to Dr. Mathis, Zag Bio was co-founded by Alan Crane (Polaris Partners), Jo Viney (Seismic Therapeutics), and John Kulman (Zag Bio). Zag Bio is a stealth mode biotech company, poised for growth in line with our ambition to transform the treatment of immune-mediated diseases.
We are seeking a laboratory-based Immunologist with expertise in regulatory T cell biology to contribute thought leadership and help drive the development of the company’s novel therapeutics for autoimmune disease. This role will require a passion for collaboration and will involve a high level of engagement with colleagues in therapeutic and platform development teams.
REQUIRED EXPERIENCE:
- Extensive hands-on research experience and subject matter expertise with regulatory T cells, suppressor assays and T cell phenotyping.

- Ability to effectively manage multiple projects in a fast-paced environment.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, and the ability to thrive in a dynamic cross-functional environment.
- Experience mentoring junior scientists, research associates, technicians and/or interns.
QUALIFICATIONS:
Ph.D. in Immunology or related field with 4+ years of industry or highly relevant academic (post-doctoral) experience
