Senior Research Associate, Single Cell Technology
About The Position
NewLimit is a biotechnology company working to radically extend human healthspan. We are developing medicines to treat age-related diseases by reprogramming the epigenome—a novel therapeutic mechanism designed to restore regenerative potential in aged and diseased cells. By leveraging functional genomics, pooled perturbation screening, and machine learning, we unravel the biology of epigenetic aging through experiments of unprecedented scale. Position NewLimit is seeking a Senior Research Associate with experience in molecular biology and automation to join our Single Cell Technology group. Single cell genomics is one of the key enabling technologies for our research programs, allowing us to measure the transcriptional and epigenetic state of millions of cells to guide therapeutic discovery.
