Scientist – Dna Nanotechnology

We are a young, innovative startup developing next-generation biomarker detection technologies. Our mission is to make precision diagnostics more accessible for researchers and clinicians worldwide. We thrive in a collaborative, international, and fast-paced environment where creativity and initiative are valued.

We are seeking a Scientist in DNA nanotechnology to drive the development of novel nanostructures and their application in biomarker detection. This role combines hands-on research with translational development, offering the opportunity to shape early-stage technologies into impactful products.

• Design, optimize, and validate DNA nanostructures for biomarker detection.
• Apply DNA nanotechnology to tissue- and solution-based assays (IHC, RNA ISH, ELISA, FACS).
• Perform bioconjugation of oligonucleotides with proteins, peptides, and other biomolecules.
• Purify and analyze oligonucleotides and conjugates (by chromatography, electrophoresis).
• Collaborate with product and application teams to translate R&D findings into usable solutions.
• Document, interpret, and present experimental data.

• Ph.D. in Bioengineering, Biochemistry, Chemistry, Molecular Biology, or a related field.
• Hands-on experience in DNA nanotechnology (DNA origami or related methods)
• Practical expertise in bio-conjugation techniques
• Strong track record of experimental design, troubleshooting, and data interpretation.

• 1–3 years of experience in industry or translational research environment
• Basic proficiency in bioinformatics or data science (R, Python)
• Familiarity with microscopy image acquisition and analysis
• Experience with electronic lab notebooks (ELNs).

• Strong problem-solving mindset; able to troubleshoot complex experiments.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills; able to convey technical concepts clearly.
• Independent, resourceful and motivated
• Thrives in startup setting: adaptable, pragmatic, and comfortable wearing multiple hats.
• Committed to scientific rigor and product impact
• Alignment with our values of openness, innovation, and drive.

• A collaborative, international, and mission-driven environment.
• Direct impact on developing cutting-edge biomarker detection technologies.
• Opportunities for professional growth in a rapidly expanding sector.

We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and experiences who share our passion for science and innovation.
