About the role

Original posting from Retro via Lever

Retro develops therapies for diseases driven by the biology of aging. We focus on cellular reprogramming and autophagy to broadly improve tissue function by targeting mechanisms of aging with the ultimate aim of adding 10 years to healthy human lifespan.

We’re building a mission-driven team of accomplished and kind individuals who embrace our startup culture of rapid iteration, transparency, and versatility.

We are hiring a new member of the HSC Therapeutics team who will bring deep expertise in hematopoiesis. In this role, you will focus on process optimization and development to help us create scalable differentiation protocols. 

About you:

You’re eager to learn and approach work with a “can-do” attitude and a hands-on nature. You take pride in working at the highest standard, continuously optimizing research practices for both high speed and accuracy. You value being organized and detail-oriented. Bringing a clear, transparent communication style, you collaborate effectively with specialists of various backgrounds (bench and computational biologist, quality control scientists, operational and logistic specialists). You are adaptable and able to iterate quickly and reprioritize based on a mission > team > self hierarchy. You’re motivated to work on the forefront of science and help us extend healthy lifespan!
