Scientist, Discovery Science
Associate scientist job in New York, NY
COMPANY Volastra Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical-stage oncology biotech company based in New York City, pioneering novel approaches to treating cancer by targeting chromosomal instability (CIN), a unique vulnerability in cancer. Since its founding in 2019, Volastra has grown to support ongoing discovery efforts and a growing clinical organization.
Our lead pipeline programs focus on two distinct inhibitors of KIF18A, a novel therapeutic target. VLS-1488, internally discovered, entered clinical trials in Q4 2023 for the treatment of advanced cancers. Sovilnesib, in-licensed from Amgen in 2023, re-entered the clinic in Q2 2024. Both assets have been granted Fast-Track Designation by the FDA. Volastra is also developing new techniques to understand the biology of chromosomal instability and leveraging these insights to drive forward a preclinical pipeline of therapies against innovative targets.
Volastra is backed by top US and European venture firms such as Arch, Polaris, Vida, Droia, Catalio, and B Capital, alongside strategic investment from Eli Lilly. In addition to venture funding, Volastra has established partnerships with oncology leaders. Our senior leadership team is highly experienced, supported by a world-class advisory board.

Machine Learning Scientist
Associate scientist job in New York, NY
Drug discovery is a prediction problem. Scientists design molecules that they predict will be potent, safe, and readily absorbed into the body, but ultimately lab experiments must be run to know whether these predictions are accurate. Each one of these experiments can take weeks or months to run, and as a result it costs millions of dollars and takes years to design a molecule that is ready for testing in humans.
At Inductive Bio, we're using AI to build
in silico
