    • Focus on high throughput functional genomic screening methods
    • Apply gene delivery techniques such as LVs, LNPs, PLVs, and VLPs
    • Work with next generation sequencing, omics data generation, with a focus on single-cell RNA-seq and multiome
    • Perform flow cytometry
    • Learn techniques in T cell functional assays

If a fellow successfully meets growth expectations and milestones of progressive independence over the 3-year program period, the fellow will be offered a Scientist position at Retro. Additionally, this opportunity will also equip them with competitive research skills including high-throughput screening, gene editing and delivery, omics data generation, and strategies to develop therapy approaches to tackle aging and age-related diseases.

We take pride in cultivating an environment that fosters collaboration, open communication, and authenticity. We believe that great results are best delivered by a highly creative team working in concert. We are an equal opportunity employer; we do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
