Work Detail
Would you like to develop transcriptome analysis technology with the world's highest accuracy and highest throughput? We are looking for researchers who can work with us to develop platform technologies for data-driven new drug creation and practical application of regenerative medicine. Our single cell transcriptome analysis technology won first place in accuracy score at the 2020 International Benchmark Competition. Additionally, large-scale bulk transcriptome analysis technology boasts tens of times the throughput compared to conventional RNA-seq technology. However, there is still room for the 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 develop the world's first technology and contribute to patients. 【in particular】 ・Research to improve the quantitative and qualitative throughput of single-cell/large-scale transcriptome analysis technology to improve efficiency by an order of magnitude or more ・Research to upgrade elemental technologies through laboratory automation and significantly improve the data acquisition process ・Technology development to expand acquired data, such as introduction of high-throughput technology to simultaneously measure omics information other than transcriptome ・Development of new single-cell/large-scale transcriptome analysis technology [Other ongoing research projects] ・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 by more than two orders of magnitude compared to current levels ・In-house research to acquire genetic profile data and metadata of "multiple types of cell lines x various cell states" and build our own integrated database ・Joint research with other companies (including academia) that conducts phenotypic drug discovery and clinical biomarker discovery using single-cell/large-scale transcriptome data ・Joint research with other companies (including academia) to search for quality markers for cell medicines and optimize cell culture conditions Depending on suitability, etc., we may order you to transfer to work specified by the company.
Ideal Profile
Required skills Equivalent to a doctoral degree from a science graduate school Passion for developing new cutting-edge technology 5 years or more of research work experience in one of the following: ・Experience in molecular biology experiments (especially experience in constructing new experimental systems and assay systems is essential) ・Building biomolecule measurement and analysis systems ・Research on transcriptome ・Omics research and analysis such as proteome, lipidome, metabolome, etc. ・Construction of high-throughput screening system ・Laboratory automation welcome skills ・Development of reagents, molecular biology research kits, diagnostic reagents, clinical test reagents, in vitro diagnostic reagents, and test kits ・Knowledge about enzyme reactions ・Experience in extracting high-quality nucleic acids from biological samples ・Knowledge of statistical analysis, Bayesian optimization, experimental design, and quality engineering ・Expert knowledge on drug discovery and regenerative medicine ・Team management skills ·programming ・Patent application experience ・Overseas research experience ・Business level English communication skills
