BACKGROUND

We are currently supporting the growth of an exciting R&D start-up biotech in Cambridge! This talented team are providing services to develop and optimize unique solutions for DNA and RNA preparation for challenging research, agricultural, clinical and other genomic and genetic applications.

The company are testing and validating novel methods in DNA and RNA protocols and implementing DNA and RNA workflows for automation for both internal and external projects with collaborators.

There most recent work has been in leading the development of new technology to advance target enrichment for next generation sequencing, which captures the strengths of both traditional hybridization- and PCR-based strategies. This has been incredibly successful and they have now developed an easily-automatable one-day target enrichment workflow which can scale from one gene to many with exceptional specificity and uniformity.

We are looking for a Ph.D. level Senior Bioinformatics Scientist to join the team and contribute to upcoming projects.
