Who we are:

ReviR Therapeutics is an early-stage biotech company focusing on the discovery and development of novel medicines directly targeting RNA to treat human neurodegenerative diseases. We are an interdisciplinary team of scientists working at the forefront of machine learning and RNA biology to reach disease targets previously considered "undruggable" by leveraging the inherent biology embedded within RNA. If you are passionate about neuroscience, excited by early-stage drug discovery, and enjoyproblem solving, this position is right for you.

Position Description:

Our biology team in Hong Kong is seeking a Research Associate/Senior Research Associate with a background in neuroscience and iPSCs to join our efforts in disease modeling and aid in mechanistic studies. Employing cutting edge techniques, you will contribute to our neurodegenerative disease therapeutics pipeline, partake in proof-of-concept studies on therapeutic candidates, and advance mechanistic understanding of therapeutic candidates in iPSC models. The successful candidate will be self-motivated, have experience in iPSCs, be well versed in molecular biology and microscopy techniques and have a desire to drive research in a new therapeutic area in a start-up environment.

Responsibilities:

● Conduct cell culture and read-out experiments such as stem cell maintenance, cell differentiation, real-time PCR, flow cytometry, and immunofluorescent staining, etc.

● Develop and optimize protocolsto generate high-quality neurons and datasets in addition to performingmolecular biology experiments

● Analyze, interpret, and communicate scientific progressthrough written and verbal reports and presentations
