Form of work
SalaryWe're seeking an extremely reliable, organized, and hard-working dedicated Lab Manager who thrives in fast-paced settings and is passionate about contributing to the smooth operation of our lab facilities. This opportunity is perfect for someone who has a knack for organization, enjoys multitasking, and is eager to support a team of talented scientists with a mentality to do anything and everything that is needed “Nothing is below me; help everywhere I can”.
Our mission
Conception is a startup with the mission of generating viable human eggs from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Successful development of our research could have many benefits, such as removing age limits on motherhood, allowing for easy screening of eggs with harmful genetic mutations, and allowing same-sex couples to reproduce. This has been done in mice, and now we are working to translate it to humans.
Our research
To accomplish our goal, we must derive human germ and ovarian somatic cells from iPSCs. These germ cells should resemble both the transcriptional and epigenetic profile of in vivo germ cells that are able to enter meiosis and develop to viable human eggs and somatic cells should support these germs cells in development and maturation. We create ovarian organoids from stem cell derived cell types to help the eggs develop properly.
