Work Detail

Would you like to develop the world's most accurate and highest throughput transcriptome analysis technology? We are looking for researchers who will work with us to develop platform technologies for data-driven drug discovery and the practical application of regenerative medicine. Our single-cell transcriptome analysis technology won first place in accuracy scores at the 2020 International Benchmark Competition. In addition, our large-scale bulk transcriptome analysis technology boasts several dozen times the throughput of conventional RNA-seq technology. However, there is still room for development of these technologies, and we would like to further evolve them into technologies that stand out in the life science industry and accelerate the development of new drugs for patients with intractable diseases. We are looking for motivated researchers who want to contribute to patients by developing world-first technologies. [Specifically] - Research to improve the quantitative and qualitative throughput of single-cell and large-scale transcriptome analysis technology, and to achieve efficiency of at least one order of magnitude over the current level - Research to advance core technologies through laboratory automation and significantly improve the data acquisition process - Development of technology to expand acquired data, such as the introduction of high-throughput technology to simultaneously measure omics information other than transcriptome - Development of new single-cell and large-scale transcriptome analysis technology [Other ongoing research projects at our company] - In-house research on cell control that integrates single-cell and large-scale transcriptome analysis technology and cell culture optimization technology to improve the current throughput of culture condition screening by at least two orders of magnitude - "Multiple types of cell lines × In-house research to acquire genetic profile data and metadata of "various cell states" and build our own integrated database - Collaborative research with other companies (including academia) to conduct phenotypic drug discovery and clinical biomarker search using single cell and large-scale transcriptome data - Collaborative research with other companies (including academia) to search for quality markers for cell medicines and optimize cell culture conditions Depending on suitability, you may be ordered to transfer to work specified by the company.
