Overview In this role you will advance neuromuscular research by designing and executing experiments, developing molecular and cellular assays in iPSC-derived and primary human muscle models, and evaluating potential therapeutics. You will study disease mechanisms in rodent models and communicate findings to cross-functional teams, contributing to Biogen's mission to improve patient outcomes. This position offers translational research exposure with meaningful impact in neuromuscular disorders. You will collaborate across teams to drive research progress and interpret data to shape therapeutic strategies.
