**Job Description**:
Medical Scientist Associate/ Medical Scientist - Cell Therapy Singapore

We are seeking a highly motivated individual to join us as a Medical Scientist.

That means a fast moving, constantly changing environment and innovative culture, where we make discoveries every day - discoveries that include our own capabilities and our individual potential.
