    BACKGROUND

    NanoStringTM Technologies has developed a patent-pending nanotechnology-based platform for single-molecule identification and digital quantification. The NanoStringTM system uniquely barcodes individual target molecules, scans them and delivers an inventory of target molecules in the biological sample. This cutting-edge technology is a broad-based platform with a wide variety of potential applications, including gene expression analysis, genotyping, proteomics and clinical diagnostics.

    RESPONSIBILITIES

    We are seeking a talented bioinformatician/biologist to join the Informatics team. The applicant will work closely with research scientists, commercial teams, software developers and customers to design the target specific probe pairs for individual molecules used in NanoString products. Through this work the individual will be responsible for developing, maintaining, and improving the bioinformatics analysis pipelines. The successful candidate will also have a leading role in researching new applications of the technology and improving the approaches used for probe selection.
