Until is building a pause button for biology, so every single transplantable organ finds a recipient and saves a life. Backed by Founders Fund and Lux.
About the role
We are seeking a Scientist/Senior Scientist, High-Throughput Screening to manage the day-to-day execution of our cryoprotectant screening program. You will be responsible for improving an established screening workflow, increasing throughput, identifying less-toxic formulations, and advancing our understanding of how cryoprotectants affect cell viability and function. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Experienced in independently designing, executing, and improving cell-based high-throughput screening workflows
- Skilled in assay development using primary cells or iPSC-derived cells, with experience in at least one renal, cardiac, or hepatic model
- Experienced in developing mechanistic assays and translating screening results into testable hypotheses about cellular toxicity
- Comfortable working hands-on with plate-based assays, imaging, flow cytometry, and analytical chemistry methods such as HPLC, LC-MS, or GC-MS for compound purity assessment
- Experienced in quantitative analysis of screening data, including quality control, statistical interpretation, and analysis of multiple experimental readouts
- Able to coordinate and mentor a scientific team, manage interdependent workflows, and take responsibility for experimental execution and outcomes
More about this role
Until is a moonshot company building a “pause button” for biology. Our near-term focus is organ-scale reversible cryopreservation: preserving donated organs at subzero temperatures without ice formation, then rewarming them uniformly for transplant. By solving this grand challenge, we’re laying the foundation for whole-body reversible cryopreservation, giving patients a bridge to future cures.
To achieve our goal, we are assembling an interdisciplinary team to develop perfusion systems, cryoprotectant formulations, and vitrification and rewarming hardware.
We envision a future where no transplantable organ is lost to logistics, and no terminal diagnosis is final because patients can safely wait for future medicine to arrive.
