Software Engineer Bioinformatics

Be part of a dynamic team that is using nanotechnology to enable routine, accurate, cost-effective analysis of genomic structural variation, in support of our mission of elucidating the genetic underpinnings of disease, increasing diagnostic yield, and ultimately improving patient outcomes.

Nabsys is the pioneer in high-definition electronic genome mapping.

Headquartered in Providence, RI, Nabsys uses proprietary electronic nanodetectors to analyze long DNA molecules traveling at high velocity.

Today Nabsys stands at the threshold of a new era in genomics with the introduction of the OhmX platform. This groundbreaking technology empowers us to map human genomes at an unprecedented scale.

Building on our expertise, we’re once again setting our sights on the whole-genome mapping market, with a renewed focus on the human genome.
