Work Detail
You will conduct research and development of new technologies that will lead to our company's goal of "data-driven cell control" and acquire cell big data. You are motivated by a wide range of research and development, from basics to applications, and can promote technology development and commercialization for the creation of new drugs and the practical application of regenerative medicine by utilizing bioinformatics, machine learning, statistics, and mathematical sciences. We are recruiting researchers. We are able to analyze large-scale, high-precision cell big data, which is only possible because we are a company that develops new experimental technologies. Our research projects include [A] in-house research projects and [B] research projects conducted jointly with other companies. [A] In-house research project: Research and development of cell control technology that integrates single-cell/large-scale transcriptome analysis technology and cell culture optimization technology (Example of research project) ・Research to acquire genetic profile data and metadata of "multiple types of cell lines x various cell states" and promote the construction of our own integrated database ・Research to improve the throughput of single-cell/large-scale transcriptome analysis technology by an order of magnitude or more ・Research to build a cell culture system in a microscopic space, a small volume medium preparation system, and a multifaceted cell evaluation system to improve culture condition screening throughput by more than two orders of magnitude compared to the current level. ・Research to upgrade elemental technologies through laboratory automation and significantly improve the data acquisition process [B] Research projects conducted jointly with other companies: Joint research and commissioned research with other companies in the field of drug discovery and regenerative medicine using in-house technology (Example of research project) ・Phenotypic drug discovery and clinical biomarker search using single-cell/large-scale transcriptome data ・Searching for quality markers of cell medicines and optimizing culture conditions using single-cell/large-scale transcriptome technology Depending on suitability, etc., we may order you to transfer to work specified by the company.
Ideal Profile
