Biologist

Advancing methods to better cryopreserve organs will reimagine pressing medical needs, like organ transplantation, and help ensure humanity’s well-being far into the future. Lorentz Bio is an early stage, well-funded deeptech startup working to make fundamental advances in organ cryopreservation.

We bring together the best talent in the world across physics, chemistry, and biology to rapidly iterate on technologies to make organ cryopreservation less damaging and more accessible. We believe a small, motivated team can impact large problems, while maintaining a strong sense of rigor and skepticism about the ability to predict outcomes in biological experiments.

Role responsibilities:

• • Develop and oversee experiments and assays for measuring the biological and functional preservation of the brain following cryopreservation
  • Build and manage a technical team, including medical imaging technicians and histologists
  • Work closely with chemists, neuroscientists, and engineers to improve cryopreservation methods

About you

• • A PhD in biology, physiology, bioengineering, or a related field, or equivalent industry experience
  • Experience with histology and/or microscopy techniques
  • Experience with tissue preparation for omics assays
  • Experience working with animals
  • You are motivated by improving human health, and optimistic about our ability to make significant breakthroughs in our lifetime. You should have a deeply scientific approach to moonshot project claims - interested in ambitious projects by default, but calibrated to the evidence required for the claims being made.
  • You have a collaborative mindset. Ideally, you’ve worked with others on hard projects you can tell us about in the past. Building hard tech with a team is the metric for success.

Preferred Qualifications

• • • Expertise in medical imaging
    • Experience with single cell sequencing, super-resolution microscopy, and/or single-molecule biology
