Associate Data Scientist / Data Scientist I

Who Are We?

Our company is based on the science of our founder, Stanley Qi, one of the original CRISPR co-inventors who then furthered the technology so that DNA does not need to be cut to accomplish gene regulation. Instead, we regulate the epigenome to suppress and activate multiple genes simultaneously. We are further evolving the platform and leveraging its strengths to address unmet medical needs.

We are looking for exceptional team members who want an active role in building a rapidly growing biotech.
