Who we are:

NeuCyte is an early stage biopharmaceutical company that focuses on developing treatments for those suffering from neurological and neurodegenerative disorders. We develop translatable cell-based assays for modelling neuro related disorders using patient-derived and genetically-engineered neural cell types to discover novel therapeutics. Based on our SynFireTM technology, our proprietary human neural in vitro platforms assess complex electrophysiological and morphological readouts suited for target identification and validation, as well as drug efficacy testing.

​

What we're looking for: 

NeuCyte is seeking a highly motivated Tissue Culture Lab Manager who will be responsible for managing cell production, QC, and banking, as well as supervising and training staff. The successful candidate has a strong background in all aspects of tissue culture and has managed and led a team in a tissue culture lab.
