ABOUT THE ROLE You will be joining a new company founded via a venture creation partnership between Deep Science Ventures and AbbVie, to be based in the London area. The technology we're building has been based on devising and de-risking a novel nucleic acid-based approach to restore immune tolerance via promoting the reprogramming of pathogenic tissue-resident memory cells to tolerogenic cells. The company is now seeking a scientist with expertise in immunology and T cell biology to help progress its novel approach. By joining at this stage, you will be driving the key experimental work required to achieve early stage milestones, optimising the preclinical development of this exciting approach. The company is continuing to expand its scientific leadership team and already has a strong and growing advisory board. DSV and AbbVie teams will continue to provide support post-spinout. THE OPPORTUNITY AREA Immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) afflict 3-7% of the global population, presenting a significant clinical and economic challenge. With projections indicating the global market for anti-inflammatory drugs could reach £165 billion annually by 2030, the urgency for curative therapies has never been more pronounced. Despite advances in biologic treatments transforming the IMID treatment landscape over recent decades, these therapies often yield suboptimal results, benefiting only a subset of patients while fostering drug resistance or causing significant side effects. The complexity of IMIDs, rooted in an intricate interplay of genetics and environmental triggers, continues to elude complete understanding. This complexity underscores the limitations of current therapeutic strategies and the pressing need for innovative approaches that offer genuine cures and sustainable drug-free recovery. WHAT WE ARE BUILDING In collaboration with AbbVie, we are pioneering a groundbreaking venture aimed at harnessing cellular reprogramming to surmount the challenges of IMIDs. Our innovative approach focuses on selectively and sustainably promoting immune tolerance by reprogramming pathogenic T cells-those implicated in driving disease in certain IMIDs. This strategy not only targets the elimination of the problematic cell population but also leverages their reprogramming potential to regulate inflammation and ultimately cure the disease. This venture represents a significant departure from traditional selective depletion strategies that, while effective in some contexts (e.g., Alemtuzumab for multiple sclerosis and Rituximab for systemic lupus erythematosus), overlook the transformative potential of in situ cellular reprogramming. Through the development of novel nucleic acid vectors, we aim to unlock naturally occurring tolerance mechanisms to provide durable, disease-specific therapies. Our ambition is to deliver solutions that achieve sustained remission and cure for individuals affected by IMIDs. By combining DSV's venture creation prowess with AbbVie's therapeutic expertise, we are uniquely positioned to drive this project forward, mark a new chapter in the treatment of inflammatory diseases, and create lasting impact in the fight against these debilitating conditions. We are looking for a passionate and motivated scientist with strong immunological expertise and track-record in immunology, to drive forward the science of this early-stage biotech.

ABOUT THE ROLE You will be joining a new company founded via a venture creation partnership between Deep Science Ventures and AbbVie, to be based in the London area. The technology we're building has been based on devising and de-risking a novel nucleic acid-based approach to restore immune tolerance via promoting the reprogramming of pathogenic tissue-resident memory cells to tolerogenic cells. The company is now seeking a scientist with expertise in immunology and T cell biology to help progress its novel approach. By joining at this stage, you will be driving the key experimental work required to achieve early stage milestones, optimising the preclinical development of this exciting approach. The company is continuing to expand its scientific leadership team and already has a strong and growing advisory board. DSV and AbbVie teams will continue to provide support post-spinout. THE OPPORTUNITY AREA Immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) afflict 3-7% of the global population, presenting a significant clinical and economic challenge. With projections indicating the global market for anti-inflammatory drugs could reach £165 billion annually by 2030, the urgency for curative therapies has never been more pronounced. Despite advances in biologic treatments transforming the IMID treatment landscape over recent decades, these therapies often yield suboptimal results, benefiting only a subset of patients while fostering drug resistance or causing significant side effects. The complexity of IMIDs, rooted in an intricate interplay of genetics and environmental triggers, continues to elude complete understanding. This complexity underscores the limitations of current therapeutic strategies and the pressing need for innovative approaches that offer genuine cures and sustainable drug-free recovery. WHAT WE ARE BUILDING In collaboration with AbbVie, we are pioneering a groundbreaking venture aimed at harnessing cellular reprogramming to surmount the challenges of IMIDs. Our innovative approach focuses on selectively and sustainably promoting immune tolerance by reprogramming pathogenic T cells-those implicated in driving disease in certain IMIDs. This strategy not only targets the elimination of the problematic cell population but also leverages their reprogramming potential to regulate inflammation and ultimately cure the disease. This venture represents a significant departure from traditional selective depletion strategies that, while effective in some contexts (e.g., Alemtuzumab for multiple sclerosis and Rituximab for systemic lupus erythematosus), overlook the transformative potential of in situ cellular reprogramming. Through the development of novel nucleic acid vectors, we aim to unlock naturally occurring tolerance mechanisms to provide durable, disease-specific therapies. Our ambition is to deliver solutions that achieve sustained remission and cure for individuals affected by IMIDs. By combining DSV's venture creation prowess with AbbVie's therapeutic expertise, we are uniquely positioned to drive this project forward, mark a new chapter in the treatment of inflammatory diseases, and create lasting impact in the fight against these debilitating conditions. We are looking for a passionate and motivated scientist with strong immunological expertise and track-record in immunology, to drive forward the science of this early-stage biotech. The successful candidate will be a key player in: Driving the strategic direction of the immunology aspects of the experimental work plan; Designing, refining and optimising the experimental work plan and scientific process; Orchestrating the development of cutting-edge oligonucleotide therapeutics for critical in vitro and ex vivo translational studies in order to assess efficacy, toxicology and PK/PD profiles of those drugs in the context of our technology; Planning in vivo biodistribution and efficacy studies; Ensuring that all techniques are updated with the latest advancements in the field; Guiding the development and integration of new assays and technologies, to continuously improve our technology; Streamlining the workflow to adhere to timelines and budgets; Ensuring data quality and integrity, to align with objectives and deadlines; Crafting compelling data packages and presentations for investor conversations.

Founders Factory builds and funds startups together with exceptional entrepreneurs and the world's leading companies. Created by IPO-exited founders, we offer founders capital, operational support from a team of hands-on experts, and unrivalled access to a coalition of industry-leading corporate partners. Since 2015, our 300+ portfolio companies have raised $800mm follow-on funding from a roster of notable investors. Our Studio partners with entrepreneurs on day one, developing new ideas, technologies and business models into high growth companies. Together with Nesta, the UK's innovation agency for social good, we're now creating ventures that deliver social impact by means of venture-backable scale. We're looking for an experienced technical operator with entrepreneurial ambitions to take a new concept created and validated by our Venture Design team into the Build Phase. The Problem: What we eat - its price, availability and nutritional value - is a product of the farming system that creates it. Our farming system is broken. 'Conventional' farming practices, such as the intensive use of agrochemicals, are driving negative outcomes for both our health and the environment. There is a growing movement to transition towards regenerative farming practices that protects nature, improves health, fights climate change and builds national food security. 72% of UK farmers are looking to use, or being pushed by retailers, regulation and rising costs, to use some regenerative techniques. But there are major barriers to transition to regen ag: 1. Capital: Requires upfront capital (working and infrastructure) to manage the 3-5 yrs transition but traditional loans not appropriate. 2. Knowledge: Farmers need support in knowing how to transition from conventional farming to regenerative practices. Data sits at the core of regen farming, but currently exists in a siloed and analogue format. Farmers monitor soil health to understand fertility, crop rotations and to maximise yields. These data sets correlate with the data sets used for credits, financing and evidencing provenance. By digitising the data we can reduce the admin burden for farmers and unlock new revenue streams by selling nature credits to organisations looking to offset their environmental impact. Ultimately making farming more profitable in the long run whilst having a positive impact on health and the environment. The Solution: RE:GENO - the data management tool that finances the transition to regen Re:geno is an app that organises your farming data and financially rewards you for regenerative farming practices. Centralising all your farm data into one dashboardUse that data to:Insights on farm interventionsEvidence provenance investors/ buyersSell 'Nature Credits' e.g. carbon creditsSecure a business loanAccess expert guidance on regenerative practicesMonitoring and verification supportFlexible approach: go field-by-field Why Now?

Coastal Restoration Officer Salary: Up to £28,000 per annum Location: Home based, with office space available in Newark (Tues - Thurs). Some UK travel will be required. Full time: 35 hours per week 2 year fixed term contract Closing date for applications: 15th May 2024 First interview: 6th June 2024 Second interview: 12th June 2024 About Us The Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts (RSWT) is the central charity which supports the federation of 46 independent Wildlife Trusts working for nature s recovery across the UK, Alderney and the Isle of Man. The Wildlife Trusts vision is of a thriving natural world, with abundant wildlife and healthy natural habitats playing a valued role in addressing the climate and ecological emergencies, and everyone inspired to take action for nature s recovery. Collectively, The Wildlife Trusts have more than 900,000 members, employ 3,500 staff, look after over 2,300 nature reserves, operate 123 visitor and education centres and own 29 working farms. The role of RSWT is to ensure a strong voice for wildlife at a UK level and to provide strategic leadership, support and development for The Wildlife Trusts. We provide shared expertise in areas such as climate change, digital fundraising, nature-based solutions, policy and safeguarding. We facilitate UK-wide communities of practice to share learning and replicate successful approaches so that together we are more than the sum of our parts. We support the individual Wildlife Trusts to be a strong force for nature in their local areas and to work together to achieve even greater impact as a collective. The Wildlife Trusts are on a mission to bring about a people-powered nature and climate recovery by empowering people to take meaningful action for nature, and to create an inclusive society where nature matters to everyone, everywhere. We are ambitious in our desire not just to slow, but to reverse the declines in nature. Together we have developed a bold, new collective strategy which outlines our vision and the actions we will take to restore nature over the next eight years. Central to our strategy are our three goals which set out what we are striving to achieve by 2030 in pursuit of our vision of a thriving natural world. Goal 1 is to put nature into recovery with abundant, diverse wildlife and natural processes creating wilder land and seascapes where people and nature thrive. Goal 2 is to inspire people to take action for nature and climate, resulting in better decision-making for the environment at both local level and across the four UK nations. And Goal 3 is to enable nature to play a central and valued role in helping to address local and global problems, such as by helping tackle climate change and supporting wellbeing and education. Achieving these ambitious objectives means that we must develop new ways of working which increase the scale and impact of our work. Therefore, we have embarked on a programme of strategic transformations that are essential to achieving our goals, and which will result in a stronger and more effective Wildlife Trust movement for the long term. RSWT is leading the transformation programme across The Wildlife Trusts including in community organising, equality, diversity and inclusion, and funding nature s recovery. The Wildlife Trusts have existed for over 100 years thanks to a strong membership base and traditional fundraising activities. About You Are you a passionate marine/coastal conservationist, looking to work for one of the UK s best-loved nature charities? If so, then we have an exciting opportunity for you! We are the largest non-governmental organisation working on marine and coastal issues in the UK, and are looking for a supportive, enthusiastic and knowledgeable colleague to join our ambitious marine team. We work on everything from terrestrial to marine restoration to bring about nature s recovery, for the benefit of all. Despite Blue Planet and more recently the Wild Isles series, we still have a job to do, to raise the profile of the sea and all that lives within it. We know that our coastline is under increasing pressure, and we need to do more to restore and conserve it for future generations are you the person to help us do that? The coast is changing as sea-levels rise. Without planning, coastal change can be catastrophic for people and sometimes for wildlife. Planning and designing realignment in front of future sea-level rise makes sense, but opportunities are limited. This post will help The Wildlife Trusts identify those opportunities and coordinate funding and licensing to ensure that realignment works both for those communities affected and helps to restore our wonderful coastal wildlife. You will have a detailed understanding of coastal processes, including relevant nature conservation issues. You will need to enjoy working in a fast-paced environment, be organised and resourceful and have meticulous attention for written detail as well as a passion for our cause. You will need to have excellent communication and facilitation skills, be adept at working with lots of information while able to bring out the best in the way we emphasise the work of The Wildlife Trusts to all. The Wildlife Trusts value passion, respect, trust, integrity, pragmatic activism and strength in diversity. Whilst we are passionate in promoting our aims, we are not judgemental and are inclusive. We want our people to be as diverse as nature, so we particularly encourage applications from people who are underrepresented within our sector, including people from minority backgrounds and people with disabilities. We are committed to creating a movement that recognises and truly values individual differences and identities. RSWT take our Safeguarding responsibilities extremely seriously. Please check the website to read our commitment statement. As a Disability Confident employer, we are committed to offering an interview to anyone with a disability that meets all the essential criteria for the post. Please let us know if you require any adjustments to make our recruitment process more accessible. This role may be subject to a DBS check.
