About the project :
You can get further details about the nature of this opening, and what is expected from applicants, by reading the below.
We aim to radically enhance longevity by developing new gene therapy vectors that enable the complex molecular engineering required to make cells and organs that hold up robustly to time and damage.
Our flagship technology to do this is the Human Artificial Chromosome (HAC), a synthetic biology project aimed at creating multifunctional vectors capable of large-scale, multifactorial transgenesis, analogous to Yeast and Bacterial Artificial Chromosomes.
Position summary :
We’re seeking a Bachelor / Master graduate with experience in molecular and cellular biology. Together with talented specialists from our team, you will be responsible for the support of ongoing experiments constructing and delivering HACs into human cells, as well as designing and testing the first prototypes of mouse artificial chromosomes.
