Boston MA USA, United States ascidian therapeutics Full time
About us:

Ascidian is redefining the treatment of disease by rewriting RNA.

Ascidian Therapeutics was founded to rewrite RNA by editing and replacing human exons. We were inspired by ocean creatures, called Ascidians, who are primordial ancestors of vertebrates. To grow from larvae to adults, ascidians re-engineer their transcriptome through RNA editing via trans-splicing and alternative splicing.

In our Brighton/Boston labs, RNA biology meets today's cutting-edge genomics, computational biology, and deep-sequencing technologies to create a new class of medicines that address the underlying causes of disease. We welcome you to come join our vibrant team and help us lead the way into a new gene therapy era.

The successful candidate will work both independently and as part of a team to design and test novel RNA therapeutics. The successful candidate will be creative, detail oriented, have excellent communication skills, and be willing to work in a dynamic environment. A commitment to the collective success of the team is essential.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

* Design, execute, and interpret experiments to improve therapeutic performance of designer RNA molecules
* Support the creation and expansion of the company's intellectual property
* Interpret data, generate figures, and clearly communicate findings to the team
