Eikon Therapeutics operates a live-cell super-resolution microscopy and single-molecule tracking platform using automation, ML, and HPC to run high-throughput protein-dynamics drug screens and advance oncology, immunology, and neurologic programs.
<div class="content-intro"><p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Eikon Therapeutics is a new biopharmaceutical company employing revolutionary technology at the intersection of chemistry, engineering, computation, and biology to discover novel treatments for life-threatening diseases. Eikon’s discovery platform is built on groundbreaking innovations from its founders (Nobel Prize, 2014), culminating in the creation of microscopes which enable real time, molecular-resolution measurements of protein movement in living cells, thereby unlocking otherwise intractable classes of proteins as drug targets.</span></p></div><p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><strong><span data-contrast="auto">Position</span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":true,"134233118":true,"201341983":0,"335559740":240}"> </span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span data-contrast="auto">As part of Eikon’s diverse team, you will interface with biologists, chemists, microscopists, and optical and automation engineers to design and deploy computational solutions that enable the exploration and quantification of Eikon’s high-content datasets. </span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":true,"134233118":true,"201341983":0,"335559740":240}"> </span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><strong><span data-contrast="auto">About You</span></strong><span data-contrast="auto"> </span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":true,"134233118":true,"201341983":0,"335559740":240}"> </span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span data-contrast="auto">You are an adventurous, passionate, and creative software engineer eager to apply your talents to empower interdisciplinary scientific exploration, inaugurate a radical drug-discovery paradigm, and ultimately create novel medicines.
