The posting

MAT Research is a pioneering company in the field of pyrogen testing, committed to ushering in a new era of ethical and accurate diagnostics. Since 2016, we have been leading the development of the Monocyte Activation Test (MAT), an animal-free alternative to traditional Rabbit Pyrogen Tests. Our ready-to-use MAT kits offer a robust and highly reliable method for detecting a broad range of pyrogens in parenteral drugs. ISO:9001:2015 certified, we uphold the highest standards of quality in all our products and services. By focusing on in-vitro human-based testing, we aim to drastically increase patient safety while saving hundreds of thousands of animal lives each year. We are steadfast supporters of the European Pharmacopoeia's vision to replace animal-based tests with MAT by 2026. For more details, go to our job page.

  • Give training on how to perform accurate MAT testing, for clients and external parties.
  • Living in the Netherlands near Leiden or able to relocate in the short term.
  • PhD or MSc in Immunology, Immuno-oncology, Immunotherapy, Cell Biology, or related discipline. (PhD strongly preferred)
  • At least 5+ years of industry experience (Biotech, Pharma, or CRO) in immunology-focused R&D — ideally in a scale-up or high-growth environment.
  • Extensive, hands-on experience in PBMC isolations, cellular assays, and analytical-based assays (ELISA, Flow Cytometry) according to regulatory standards such as ICH.
