Our award-winning culture is collaborative, innovative, and science based. In this vital role, you will join the Predictive Biology team to develop and validate biologically relevant models of human tissue using induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) or primary human tissue.

A key focus will be validating tissue architecture, cellular composition, differentiation state, maturation, and functional relevance to ensure models are suitable for discovery and translational research. Develop human stem cell-derived models that represent tissue biology and enable disease-versus-normal comparisons. Document protocols, experimental designs, model validation data, and decision criteria in a clear and reproducible manner.

Communicate results, limitations, and technical risks to cross‑functional teams through written reports and oral presentations. PhD in a related discipline with 2+ years of experience PhD with 2+ years postdoctoral and/or industry experience in stem cell biology, developmental biology, tissue engineering, cell biology, bioengineering, molecular biology,



organoid biology, or a related discipline.

Experience validating tissue architecture using methods such as immunostaining, confocal microscopy, flow cytometry, high‑content imaging, or functional assays. Familiarity with adult stem cell‑derived organoids, Lgr5‑positive stem cell biology, niche‑factor‑dependent epithelial systems, normal organoids, or patient‑derived organoid platforms is preferred but not required. Demonstrated scientific productivity and technical credibility through peer‑reviewed publications and patents As we work to develop treatments that take care of others, we also work to care for our teammates’ professional and personal growth and well‑being.
