About The Position

Our mission is to make immune measurement a reality for clinical trials and patients. If we achieve this mission, we will put 100+ years back on the clock for drug developers, physicians and patients, and unlock a multi-billion dollar market opportunity. You wouldn’t run an Ozempic trial without a weight scale; and our aim is that you wouldn’t run an immunotherapy trial without Teiko. We use high-dimensional cytometry to measure the immune state of patients on trial in our Clinical Laboratory Inspection Amendment (CLIA)-registered lab. We’re powering immunotherapy development for $B drug developers and have dozens of happy customers. This role is intended for someone interested in working at the intersection of immunology, data science, and high-speed lab operations.

About you:
Familiar with single cell and high-parameter flow cytometry assays
Motivated to help breakthrough therapies reach patients
Excited to tackle ground-floor challenges and work with seasoned scientists and proven entrepreneurs
The Scientist will be performing immunophenotyping with human specimens. Responsibilities include the design, development, execution and validation of cytometry assays; data acquisition, analysis and documentation of results.
