Turn biological questions and AI-generated hypotheses into rigorous experiments
Design and execute in vitro studies and help develop in vivo programs
Analyze results and feed experimental evidence back into our AI systems
Develop assays, models, and experimental workflows from scratch
Help prioritize targets and therapeutic approaches
Build our early wet-lab capabilities and scientific partnerships
Work directly with the founders and scientific leadership

What we’re looking for

PhD or equivalent research experience in immunology, autoimmunity, T1D, beta-cell biology, cell biology, molecular biology, or related fields
Strong hands-on wet-lab experience
Ability to independently design, execute, and troubleshoot experiments
Comfortable working in a fast-moving, ambiguous startup environment
Excited about combining AI and experimental biology
High scientific rigor, curiosity, and willingness to challenge assumptions

One of our founders has lived with Type 1 diabetes for 17 years. We intend to work on this until we solve it.
