Company Overview: Terray Therapeutics is a venture-backed biotechnology company leveraging our vast high-quality data to optimize the path from discovery to transformative therapeutics. Our approach delivers on the promise of computation to revolutionize drug discovery. Through our closed-loop wet lab discovery platform and data-rich AI, we overcome existing constraints on chemical data by systematically mapping the biochemical interactions of massive and diverse small molecule libraries to identify novel therapeutic compounds. Access to this quantitative data at scale allows us to intelligently navigate an infinitely extensible and highly diverse chemical space to efficiently design, discover and optimize small molecule therapeutics. Our internal development programs are focused on immunology. In addition to these programs we also work with leading pharmaceutical companies.
Our integrated computational platform, tNova, harnesses our novel affinity binding technology, tArray, unique resynthesis capabilities, and broad biology infrastructure. tArray is the foundation of our discovery engine. It enables us to screen hundreds of millions of compounds in minutes and return quantitative data on each compound. Vast, high purity, and high diversity compound libraries are rapidly iterated using best-in-class chemistry to unlock chemical insights at the scale necessary to power AI-driven drug discovery.
Position Summary: Terray Therapeutics is seeking a Scientist for our transformative platform technology. Our platform incorporates nano fabricated silicon chips, microfluidic flow cells and functionalized microbeads. Next generation R&D will involve improvements in all of these components.
The core of this job will be designing and overseeing the production of novel chip designs with regards to both geometry and surface chemistry. An ideal candidate will also contribute to improvements in integrating these chips with microfluidic flow cells, including designing and implementing enhancements on the microfluidics side. An ideal candidate will also have the background to support designing and executing novel bead surface chemistry functionalization to enable integration with enhanced chips and microfluidic flow cells.
Experience and Qualifications: Given the company’s size, anticipated growth and fast-paced environment, the organization requires a Scientist who is thoughtful, high energy and can partner with the broader organization to further enhance our next generation drug discovery capabilities.
