We strive to transform oral drug delivery using a revolutionary proprietary technology (developed in the laboratory of Professor Robert Langer at MIT) that enables high throughput screening with fully intact and functional GI tissue. We are a tight-knit interdisciplinary team that develops better and safer oral therapeutics in close collaboration with major global pharmaceutical companies.

Job Description:

We are currently seeking a highly motivated, driven, and collaborative PhD level scientist with background in drug delivery, pharmaceutical science, drug formulation development, analytical chemistry or related fields to take a leading role across the company’s R&D programs. The chosen candidate must possess an outstanding track record that demonstrates a proven ability to drive research progress, including the ability to independently design, implement, and troubleshoot experiments and effectively present results and research plans. The chosen candidate will also be expected to mentor and supervise research team members and should therefore have strong leadership and organizational skills.

Responsibilities will involve laboratory and operational roles, including:

• Design and execute complex automated screening experiments using the GI-ORIS technology and perform analytical techniques.
• Contribute to multiple projects executed in parallel while adhering to timelines to meet deliverables.
• Collaborate with the scientific team to analyze and interpret screening data for translation into in vivo models.
• Communicate findings with internal and external experts and contribute to strategic R&D decisions.

Required Qualifications:

• PhD in pharmaceutical sciences, analytical chemistry, biochemistry, chemical engineering or similar field. Relevant industry experience is preferred.
• Experience in high throughput screening and using in vitro assays and in vivo models for research within drug delivery or related fields.
• Experience with HPLC and LC-MS analysis, including sample preparation, instrument operation, and data analysis/QC.
• Hands-on experience with multiplex immunoassays (MSD) is a plus.
• Strong technical background in analytical chemistry with the ability to independently troubleshoot, develop, and optimize analytical methods.
• Excellent written and oral communication skills capable of effective collaboration within a highly cross-functional team.
• Self-motivated, hard-working, and detail-oriented individual with demonstrated ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment. Experience in a start-up is a plus.
