I’m currently partnering with a pioneering U.S.-based biotechnology company that is transforming the way we understand and treat cancer at the cellular level. Their proprietary single-cell multi-omics platform, built on advanced microfluidics technology, is enabling global leaders in oncology research and therapeutic development to gain critical insights that were previously inaccessible.

As the company continues to grow its presence across Europe, they are seeking a Field Application Scientist (FAS) to support customers throughout Germany. This is an excellent opportunity for a scientifically-driven professional with experience in NGS and customer-facing technical support to join a company at the forefront of single-cell innovation.
