Boston, United States Ovelle Full time

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.


Qualifications

  • We seek a detail-oriented Research Assistant to contribute to groundbreaking work in stem cell differentiation and meiosis induction. The ideal candidate will:
  • Hold a Bachelor’s degree in Biology, Biotechnology, or related field
  • Have two years of lab experience in stem cell or molecular biology (strongly preferred)
  • Maintain mammalian and human cells lines and differentiate human iPSC lines
  • Implement genetic modifications using CRISPR/Cas9 and PiggyBac systems

  • Optimize culture conditions 
  • Assist in developing novel reporter lines
  • Perform PCR and assist with plasmid-based experiments and single-cell RNA sequencing
