About the Company:

Ovelle is revolutionizing fertility treatment through human in vitro oogenesis—producing eggs from somatic cells. Our approach uses directed differentiation of human iPSCs to ovarian cell types including granulosa cells and oogonia by manipulating expression of transcription factors and RNA-binding proteins. We are the first company to develop technology to induce meiosis in human iPSCs. By innovating egg production, we aim to make fertility treatments more accessible and affordable. If we are successful, it will mark a paradigm shift in treatments for infertility, and offer a new path to parenthood for millions of people around the world. Come help us build an exciting future all of us want to live in.

  • Implement techniques for isolating and culturing granulosa cells and follicles from mammalian ovarian tissue
  • Characterize the derived supporting cells using various molecular and functional assays
  • Conduct co-culture experiments with germ cells to assess the supportive capacity of the derived cells
  • Perform advanced biology techniques such as FACS, immunofluorescence, and RNA-seq to evaluate cell identity and function
  • Analyze hormone production and signaling pathways in cultured cells
  • Collaborate on developing 3D culture systems that mimic the ovarian follicular environment
