Ascidian is redefining the treatment of disease by rewriting RNA. Ascidian Therapeutics was founded to rewrite RNA by editing and replacing human exons. We were inspired by ocean creatures, called Ascidians, who are primordial ancestors of vertebrates. To grow from larvae to adults, ascidians re-engineer their transcriptome through RNA editing via trans-splicing and alternative splicing. In our Brighton/Boston labs, RNA biology meets today’s cutting-edge genomics, computational biology, and deep-sequencing technologies to create a new class of medicines that address the underlying causes of disease. We welcome you to come join our vibrant team and help us lead the way into a new gene therapy era. Ascidian Therapeutics is seeking a Co-op student with molecular biology experience to join our team. The Co-op will work with an experienced scientific mentor to develop and carry out cellular and molecular biology-based assays to characterize potential therapeutic molecules. The candidate must be creative, detail-oriented, have excellent communication skills, and be willing to work in a dynamic entrepreneurial environment.
