Molecular Biologist

 

Centrillion Bioscience is creating transformative genomic technologies leveraging engineering and biochemistry breakthroughs to accelerate discovery and reveal the real genome that has thus far been obscured by its complexity and the limitations of existing technologies. Our team of scientists, engineers and business professionals is committed to making a new generation of genomic technologies accessible and affordable for multitude of previously unapproachable applications in healthcare, scientific research, agriculture and consumer genomics. Centrillion’s Molecular Vision Laboratory (MVL) is a leader in identification of genetic mutations in vision disorders. Centrillion is backed by venture capital and strategic investors and has operations in Silicon Valley, CA, Portland, OR and in Asia Pacific.

 

 

Centrillion Tech is seeking innovative and resourceful Molecular Biologist to join a multidisciplinary research team developing new molecular assay for high-definition spatial sequencing translational research. 

 

Technology Background 

Centrillion has developed an industrial leading very high-resolution spatial sequencing chip. These chips are used for very long DNA sequencing, spatial transcriptomics (every cell transcriptomics) and many other applications. The high-definition spatial sequencing chips are manufactured using state of the art fabrication facilities.   

 

Core Responsibilities: 

The spatial transcriptomic scientist is expected to be trained to become familiar with our current standard spatial sequence protocols rapidly and to become a contributor to further optimization of the existing assays and development of additional assays. The scientist is also expected to collaborate effectively internally with bioinformatics, manufacturing, engineering and other departments as well as external academic and clinical researchers. 

 

Requirements: 

·       MS/Ph.D in Molecular Biology, Biology, Biochemistry or related field 

·       Oncology, Neurology or Pathology experience is highly preferred 

·       Experience working with single cell or spatial sequencing is highly preferred 

·       Experience with next generation sequencing bioinformatics pipeline is preferred  

·       Demonstrated ability to plan experiments, analyze data sets, interprets results, trouble-shoot experiments, prepare reports, and present results.  

The selected candidate should be a self-motivated, driven, thorough and careful experimentalist with the ability to multitask, think independently and will be expected to work independently as a demonstrated problem solver. 

 

Effective communication and presentation skills are required.
