Beschreibung
Laboratory Technician
Ageing is one of the greatest challenges of our time.
As the major risk factor for diseases and functional decline, it is at the root of the most devastating health problems we face.
Science has demonstrated that we can slow the ageing process and extend the lives of animals in the laboratory.At EPITERNA, our mission is to translate these breakthroughs into longer and healthier lives for both pets and people.
Our team develops affordable products that can safely slow the ageing process to prevent age-related disease, delay functional decline, and extend life.
We have sufficient funding from investors who are deeply aligned with our mission, so while we are an early-stage start-up, we have the necessary resources to develop best in class research and clinical infrastructure.
You will be part of a multidisciplinary team and support our efforts to identify interventions that can extend health span and lifespan.
What you'll do
Support our pre-clinical efforts to identify interventions that can extend healthspan and lifespan in our smaller models' programs: _C. elegans_ and _D. melanogaster_.
Rear and maintain colonies of _C. elegans_ and _D. melanogaster_.
Prepare reagents for _C. elegans _maintenance. Generate synchronized _C. elegans _populations. Image _C. elegans_.
Conduct lifespan experiments in _C. elegans_ and _D. melanogaster_.
Prepare drugs and reagents to be able to conduct lifespan experiments.
What you're bringing
A technician's diploma, CFC laborantine preferred or bachelor's degree in relevant field of biology.
Experience with _C. elegans_ and/or _D. melanogaster_ preferred but not mandatory. However, you
must be comfortable with working with these two organisms.
Strong analytical skills for interpreting scientific research, including study design, data analysis, and the ability to draw meaningful conclusions from complex information.
Highly organized, adept at project management, and capable of managing multiple tasks simultaneously.
A team-oriented mindset, comfortable working in a collaborative, cross-functional environment.
What you'll find here
We are a small but growing team of ambitious scientists, physicians and engineers.
We understand that our mission will not be simple or quick, but we are determined to create more time that matters.
We are a highly collaborative, interdisciplinary, and pragmatic team and care deeply about creating a company culture that allows everyone to thrive and grow.
We are committed to rethink how we provide healthcare, from treatment of diseases to preventive care and from just extending health to slow down aging and extend life.
If you want to deliver the very best outcomes to your patients rather than following common wisdom of how healthcare works, you will love it here.
Our processes, company size and personal responsibilities are not yet established and will change faster than in a corporate environment.
This means there is a lot of room for you to take responsibility and move fast, but it can also be overwhelming at times.
Logistics
We would like you to join as soon as possible.
You would join us here in Lausanne, Switzerland (it's a beautiful place). We work mostly on-site. We believe this is important especially now at the beginning so we can create together EPITERNA's culture.
We are located in the biotechnology campus at the Biopole (Epalinges).
