We use technologies that combine the rapid isolation and phenotypic analysis of individual gene knockouts together with high-throughput compound screening to identify genetically validated targets for the treatment of human diseases. NemaPharm is a subsidiary of Sequana Therapeutics, Inc., a major genomics company. Sequana provides NemaPharm with computational biology and molecular bioengineering support, allowing us to focus on our strengths in functional genomics and screening in a dynamic, small group setting. Our laboratories are located in University Park at MIT, in the heart of the outstanding academic, high tech, and cultural environment of Cambridge and Boston, Massachusetts. Additional information about NemaPharm can be found at . NemaPharm forged the first functional genomics collaboration using model organisms in the industry, in partnership with Glaxo Wellcome. We are expanding our efforts in a number of conserved disease-related pathways and seek talented individuals with excellent scientific, communication, and teamwork skills. Nematode Biology: Scientists and Research Associates Individuals from all levels, BS through PhD, are encouraged to apply. Experience in various aspects of C. elegans biology required, such as genetic screens, genetic analysis, phenotypic analysis, microinjection, and the study of gene expression using reporter genes, in situ hybridization, or antibodies. Molecular Biology: Research Associates BS with 3 years of experience or MS. Experience in conventional recombinant DNA techniques required, including plasmid construction, PCR, hybridization, and library screening.
