Lab Manager

We’re a moonshot company pushing the boundaries of biotech and drug discovery. Born out of Yale, we aim to radically rethink the traditional R&D model—and we’re backed by some of the most forward‑thinking institutions out there.

We won the ARPA‑H award (think DARPA for health), the same kind of program that gave rise to Siri, the Internet (ARPANET), and GPS.

Backing mission:

$20M in VC funding
$30M in government contracts

We’re just getting started—and we’d love for you to be part of it.
