Research Associate (Organ Perfusion)
Research fellow job in Mundelein, IL
Job DescriptionUntil is a moonshot company building a “pause button” for biology. Our near-term focus is organ-scale reversible cryopreservation: preserving donated organs at subzero temperatures without ice formation, then rewarming them uniformly for transplant. By solving this grand challenge, we're laying the foundation for whole-body reversible cryopreservation, giving patients a bridge to future cures.
To achieve our goal, we are assembling an interdisciplinary team to develop perfusion systems, cryoprotectant formulations, and vitrification and rewarming hardware.
We envision a future where no transplantable organ is lost to logistics, and no terminal diagnosis is final because patients can safely wait for future medicine to arrive.
About The RoleWe are seeking an experienced and dedicated full-time Research Associate to join our whole organ preservation team. As Research Associate, you will play a vital role in the scientific progress of our research program. The primary focus of this role is on developing organ perfusion protocols, with an emphasis on organ isolation, preservation, and viability evaluation. The person in this role is encouraged to take on significant ownership of specific technical challenges.
You will have the opportunity to collaborate with scientists and engineers across the company on variety of methods inspired by first principles of biology, physics, and chemistry. Creative scientific engagement is encouraged, and new avenues for discovery and optimization are continuously supported.Responsibilities
Perform pig organ isolation and ex-vivo evaluation protocols, including perfusion and histology
Work within scientific team to evaluate health of organs following cryopreservation
Survey literature and conduct experimental tests to answer critical questions towards optimizing preservation protocol
Ensure accurate sample processing and on-time data reporting
Qualifications
You have an undergraduate degree in a STEM field, or significant STEM-related training
