About the role
To support our AI models and applications in inflammation and immunology, Biohub Chicago is building a lab that runs biology experiments at a scale and consistency that manual work can't reach. We are seeking a Research Associate experienced in hands-on cell biology to work closely with automation engineers and scientists, performing consistent cell maintenance, executing experiments on and off automated systems, and developing the QC metrics which will form the basis for a reliable experimentation platform. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Support execution of high throughput experiments, including loading labware, reagents, performing startup and shutdown operations, and monitoring execution to flag for deviations to planned protocol
- Perform routine cell culture and molecular biology, including daily bulk cell culture maintenance, media preparations, and routine equipment maintenance tasks
- Assist in model development and maintenance, including culture and differentiation of iPSCs or other relevant cell systems that recapitulate disease-related phenotypes
- Design, optimize, and troubleshoot experimental protocols and SOPs, proactively identifying bottlenecks and opportunities to improve throughput, reliability, or efficiency
- Maintain detailed lab notebooks, document experimental outcomes, and Communicate findings to the larger team
- Independently plan, prioritize and execute work
More about this role
Biohub is the first large-scale initiative bringing frontier AI models, massive compute, and frontier experimental capabilities under one roof. We're building a general-purpose system to accelerate scientific discovery, integrating frontier AI models, biological foundation models, and lab capabilities, with the ultimate goal of curing disease. Our technology powers scientists around the world, translating AI capabilities into tools that accelerate research everywhere.
Our decoding inflammation team builds tools to enable precise molecular-level measurements of inflammation within human tissues in real time, and develop proactive, early interventions that can be deployed when inflammation — which underlies the most significant causes of death worldwide — first flares in the body.
