Experienced and innovative Senior Scientist to lead the design, development, and implementation of advanced bioanalytical methods
Description
Our Mission:
In a world where drug development is invariably a slow and inefficient process, we enable the biopharma industry to advance drugs faster and easier than has ever been possible with our deceptively simple, tech-driven platform
that delivers critical capabilities quickly and with consistently high quality.
Company Summary:
Now out of stealth, Dash Bio takes a technology-first approach to developing critical services across the drug development lifecycle. The company is building new capabilities that leverage AI, robotics, and fully-integrated software to fundamentally reinvent the way drugs are brought to market. Their first capability is a highly-automated clinical bioanalysis lab that promises to deliver GLP-compliant services with unprecedented speed.
Dash is led by an ambitious team of industry pros aligned on a shared vision and ethos. Founders include Dave Johnson (CEO), former Chief Data & AI Officer at Moderna; Ander Tallett (COO), CEO and founder of DigitalRadius and an experienced executive with stints at Moderna and Science Exchange; and Ely Porter, CTO and co-founder of Rootpath, a pioneer in synthetic immunology and gene synthesis.
Dash is targeting bioanalysis as an entry point for its intense potential for disruption to the current market with a tech-first approach.
We are a place where employees are stretched to do the best work of their career. We are looking for engineers, scientists, and biotechnicians who want to make an impact on the world and leverage their skills in an innovative way.
