Work Detail
Want to develop the world's highest-precision, highest-throughput transcriptome analysis technology? We are seeking researchers to develop a platform technology for data-driven drug discovery and the practical application of regenerative medicine. Our single-cell transcriptome analysis technology achieved the top accuracy score at the 2020 International Benchmarking Competition. Furthermore, our large-scale bulk transcriptome analysis technology boasts tens of times the throughput of conventional RNA-seq technology. However, there is still much room for improvement in these technologies, and we aim to further evolve them into outstanding technologies in the life sciences industry and technologies that accelerate the development of new drugs for patients with intractable diseases. We are looking for researchers who are motivated to contribute to patients by developing world-first technologies. [Specifically] * Research to improve the quantitative and qualitative throughput of single-cell, large-scale transcriptome analysis technology, achieving efficiency improvements of more than an order of magnitude from the current level. * Research to enhance elemental technologies through laboratory automation and significantly improve the data acquisition process. * Development of technologies to expand acquired data, such as the introduction of high-throughput technologies for simultaneously measuring omics information other than transcriptome. * Development of new single-cell, large-scale transcriptome analysis technologies. [Other ongoing research projects by our company] * In-house research on cell control that integrates single-cell, large-scale transcriptome analysis technology and cell culture optimization technology to improve culture condition screening throughput of more than two orders of magnitude from the current level. * "Multiple cell lines × Our in-house research involves acquiring gene profile data and metadata for various cellular states and building our own integrated database. - Collaborative research with other companies (including academia) conducting phenotypic drug discovery and clinical biomarker exploration using single-cell and large-scale transcriptome data. - Collaborative research with other companies (including academia) conducting quality marker exploration and cell culture condition optimization for cell-based pharmaceuticals. Depending on aptitude and other factors, you may be ordered to transfer to duties as instructed by the company.
