Ariya Bio (to be incorporated) is an early-stage startup developing gene-editing cell therapies to treat genetic diseases. As part of our collaboration with Prof. Jacob Corn’s Lab of Genome Biology and secured Innosuisse funding, we seek a research lead who may become a Co-Founder. The applicant should have expertise in CRISPR-Cas9 Gene-Editing, Hemoglobin Regulation, and Molecular Biology and should be eager to pursue an ambitious and fast-paced entrepreneurial venture.
The successful applicant will be responsible for managing the scientific goals and progress of the project and closely work with the program lead. The applicant will perform primarily strategic planning and management duties and occasional lab work. Furthermore, the research lead will work together with a small team in a collaborative manner. The projects will initially be pre-clinical in nature, and the applicant’s work will directly impact potential therapies for multiple genetic disorders.
