Until is building a “pause button” for biology, focusing on organ-scale reversible cryopreservation to enable organ transplants and provide a bridge to future cures. The company aims to solve the problem of losing transplantable organs due to logistics and to offer patients a chance to wait for future medical advancements.
Requirements
- Extensive hands-on experience with in vivo rodent models.
- Background or strong interest in physiology, with a creative approach to understanding and manipulating organ function.
- At least 2 years of experience with a strong track record of success in executing complex and demanding laboratory procedures.
- Demonstrated enthusiasm for problem-solving and for exploring novel protocols and research directions.
Responsibilities
- Support and conduct whole-body perfusion experiments, including monitoring physiological parameters, controlling perfusion conditions, and maintaining detailed documentation.
- Evaluate multiple tissues and organs post-perfusion, assessing both structural integrity and cryoprotectant distribution across different organ systems.
- Ensure accurate sample processing and on-time data reporting.
- Review relevant literature and design experimental tests to address key questions that advance and optimize preservation protocols.
- Developing and refining whole-body cryoprotectant perfusion protocols.
- Systematic evaluation of perfusion efficiency and post-perfusion organ viability.
Other
- Self-driven, resourceful, and motivated by discovery—committed to advancing ambitious scientific projects and pushing the boundaries of knowledge.
- The person in this role is encouraged to take on significant ownership of specific technical challenges.
- We value creative engagement and encourage you to explore new ideas, methods, and approaches that can accelerate discovery and optimization.
- Bachelor’s degree in a STEM field (or equivalent STEM-related training and experience).
