Job Description
Start up biotech company in Bay Area is seeking a Senior Scientist - Protein Engineer to design and build high-content protein libraries using rational engineering methodologies. This exciting new company is developing a proprietary technology platform to target various regenerative pathways critical for the establishment of complex diseases.
This exciting new company was founded in 2018 and is building the worlds leading platform for precision genetic regulation to address serious diseases with little to no available treatments. The technology platform works in a way that DNA does not need to be cut to accomplish precise gene regulation. This platform enables the design of medicines that flexibly, precisely and reversibly modify gene expression, a potential that drug developers have long sought to achieve but which todays approaches fall short of accomplishing.
