Zafrens is an attempt to redefine lifesciences product development. We work at the cutting edge of engineering, biology and chemistry to develop innovative products and drugs that are category defining. We are unconstrained by traditional product development methodologies and seek to utilize unique insights and abilities of our colleagues to conceive new ideas and accelerate product development across tools, cells and drugs. We are seeking to build a team of creative and adventurous scientists to push the boundaries of lifescience innovation.

We are currently looking for help developing and optimizing single-cell assays for drug discovery applications. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in genomics and NGS, with a preferred background in single-cell sequencing. Deep experience with cell culture, molecular biology and genetic manipulation to create sequencing libraries is essential. We are a technology development company, so experience with novel cell analysis and engineering techniques is highly desired. The current project combines phenotypic imaging assays with sequencing assays, and combining Perturb-seq assays with imaging assays.
