- Hands-on experience with molecular biology techniques such as cloning, nucleic acid purification, PCR, and gel electrophoresis
- Strong attention to detail and good documentation practices
- Ability to execute protocols accurately and manage multiple tasks efficiently
- Excellent communication and organizational skills
- Interest in mRNA process science and eagerness to learn new techniques
More about this role
NewLimit is a biotechnology company working to radically extend human healthspan. We’re developing medicines to treat age-related diseases by reprogramming the epigenome, a new therapeutic mechanism to restore regenerative potential in aged and diseased cells. We leverage functional genomics, pooled perturbation screening, and machine learning models to unravel the biology of epigenetic aging and disease using experiments of unprecedented scale.
