Location: On-Site in Seattle, WA

Who We Are
Tasso is a fast-growing Seattle-based startup that delivers at-home diagnostic testing to those who need it most. Tasso was founded to find a better way to collect blood than a painful fingerstick or time-consuming venous draw. Since then, our products have been used in pharmaceutical clinical trials, by Olympians as part of a new virtual anti-doping program, and broadly by hospital systems across the US. We are growing our footprint with leading health systems, clinical research organizations, academic medical centers, and more who are looking to deliver clinical-grade, convenient diagnostic tests to their patients.
Each new diagnostic test that our device supports requires planned clinical research, experimentation, reagent selection/development, co-development with partner labs of the assay, and validation trials. Our Clinical Research and Clinical R&D Labs work with both client and partner testing.
