About Antheia: Antheia istheadvanced biosynthesis company transforming pharmaceutical manufacturing and innovation for the 21st century. Antheia’s commercially proven technology platform produces high-value pharmaceutical ingredients in a fraction of the time compared to legacy approaches while significantly reducing supply chain risk. The company provides its global pharmaceutical customers with a resilient, efficient supply of critical ingredients at scale, while expanding the innovation frontier for new therapeutic development.

Backed by leading investors and recognized by the U.S. government as a priority technology for public health and national and economic security, Antheia is manufacturing the medicines the world needs today while enabling tomorrow’s breakthrough therapeutics.

Working at Antheia: Our cross-functional team shares a vision for the future: improved pharmaceutical supply chains that can end drug shortages and driveequitableaccess to essential medicines. As a team, we aim to embody a culture that celebrates diversity, prioritizes knowledge sharing, encourages exploration and ideation, challenges constructively, and supports individuals in their professional and personal journeys. At Antheia, you can expect to be inspired bythe science, by your teammates, and by the opportunity wehave tobring about change in the pharmaceutical industry.

At Antheia Bio Asia, we're reprogramming yeast to biosynthesize complex, high-value compounds using cutting-edge synthetic biology and precision genome engineering tools.

As a Lab Ops and Research Associate, you'll keep the lab running like clockwork — reagent prep, inventory, autoclaving, the operational backbone every good discovery depends on — while also getting hands-on with strain construction and molecular biology alongside senior scientists who are actively pushing the boundaries of what yeast can produce. Think advanced genetic engineering techniques, plasmid builds, and watching your work move from a digital design straight into a living cell.

This is a new subsidiary in Singapore, so you'll wear a lot of hats — and that's exactly the appeal. If you're organized, resourceful, genuinely curious about biology, and want a front-row seat (and a working role) in a fast-moving metabolic engineering team building toward real therapeutic impact, we want to hear from you.
