Tessel Bio

About The Company

Tessel Bio is developing the next generation of drugs to treat and cure chronic diseases. We combine organotypic cell culture with machine learning to discover therapies that will make a meaningful difference in patients' lives. We're seeking a motivated research associate who is excited to work at the intersection of human biology and technology.

About The Role

What you’ll be doing

  • Setting up and maintaining large quantities of human primary cell cultures
  • Running phenotypic and target-based drug screens using those cell cultures
  • Implementing published experimental methods to expand our capabilities
  • Mentoring one or two interns/co-ops who will support you and the team in lab

What We’re Looking For

  • 2 years of experience in an academic biology wet lab; or 1 year of experience in a biotech industry wet lab
  • Mastery of adherent mammalian cell culture
  • Prior success in establishing a new method in a lab, starting from reading the Materials & Methods section of a paper
  • Preferred but not mandatory:
    • Experience with 3D cell culture in Matrigel
    • Mastery of at least one of the following techniques: flow cytometry, lentivirus preparation & usage, Western blots, or qPCR
    • Experience with an organizational system for hundreds of compounds or cell lines
We encourage you to apply, even if you don't feel like you satisfy every one of the requirements above.

About The Team

We’re a team of 6 (and growing!) on a mission to help people with chronic disease worldwide by changing the way drug discovery is done. We pride ourselves in being “amphibious,” with everyone building and learning at the intersection of wet lab (experiments) and dry lab (computation). We love good science, good food, and good puns. Are you in?
