ABOUT STRM.BIO
STRM.BIO (pronounced “storm bio”) is a VC-backed biotech startup building a new kind of gene therapy delivery platform based on naturally occurring extracellular vesicles (EVs). We're leveraging the unique biology of EVs to unlock targeted, scalable, and low-immunogenicity genetic medicines that target the bone marrow.
We’re a small, fast-moving team based at The Engine in Cambridge, MA. We believe in simplicity, integrity, and keeping people at the center of everything we do. We’re here to do great science and build a company we’re proud of.
THE OPPORTUNITY
We’re looking for Research Associates to help grow our research engine. You’ll work shoulder-to-shoulder with the Director of Research and a team of Scientists to support key programs and facilitate external collaborations. This is a hands-on, highly cross-functional role ideal for someone who’s ready to dive in and execute in equal measure. This is a full-time, on-site role.
