Job Description

AnaBios, San Diego

(Weekends Required)

AnaBios offers the opportunity to work at the forefront of human-relevant drug discovery, using functional human tissues and cells to help researchers better predict how potential therapies will perform in patients. Its proprietary ex vivo human platforms bring real human biology into the earliest stages of drug development, helping pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies make better decisions, reduce translational risk, and ultimately advance safer, more effective medicines.

By joining our team, you will become part of a very small pool of scientists with the privilege to conduct cutting edge research on tissues and organs.

At AnaBios we will give you the opportunity to study the pathophysiology of human diseases, instead of artificial animal models.

On a daily basis, you will be engaged in fascinating experiments involving the isolation, culture and interrogation of live human neurons, hepatocytes, cardiomyocytes isolated from donors and live human tissues precision cut slices. These studies are the new frontier in the discovery of new treatments for chronic pain, neurodegeneration, liver, and cardiac diseases.

Pay: From $26.00 per hour
