Retro develops therapies for diseases driven by the biology of aging. We focus on cellular reprogramming and autophagy to broadly improve tissue function by targeting mechanisms of aging with the ultimate aim of adding 10 years to healthy human lifespan.
We’re building a mission-driven team of accomplished and kind individuals who embrace our startup culture of rapid iteration, transparency, and versatility.
We are hiring a new member of the HSC Therapeutics team who will be involved in making GMP-grade iPSCs and characterizing them. In this role, your cell culture and reprogramming skills will enable the team to move toward therapy production in a GMP setting. You will be involved in generating, maintaining, and characterizing pluripotent stem cells to later develop them into a cellular therapy product. You will help the team to transfer reprogramming protocols from the research bench into a GMP production.
