Combining the science of genetics with the business of discovery, we are moving de-extinction forward by resurrecting the Woolly Mammoth through gene editing.
About the role
An affiliate of Colossal Biosciences is looking for a talented stem cell biologist with an interest in the manipulation of avian embryonic stem cells. You will work closely with other lab team members in efforts to innovate on protocols of avian stem cell culture, genome editing, and reintroduction into embryos using cutting edge technologies.
What they're looking for
- Experience with embryonic stem cell cultures
- Experience manipulating embryos under a microscope
- Experience in cell line derivation, culture, propagation, and transfection methodologies
- Experience in molecular biology (eg, nucleic acid and protein extraction, gel electrophoresis)
- Experience with flow cytometry, immunostaining, cell microscopy
- Strong written and oral communication skills, as well as creative problem-solving skills
