Description:
Located within the Helix Center, this company comes up with solutions for sustainable weed management, reducing herbicide use by a combination of gene editing and synthetic biology. In this platform in St. Louis, they focus on finding resistant traits and gene discovery/mutations. They want to measure resistance to substances as they are introduced to the product. This is a start-up environment that centers on project-based R&D. The role will be sitting here in St. Louis, partnering with another biologist who's more focused on the molecular aspects of the projects (Tina Reudlin). They want to partner with a Microbiologist who will spend 90% of their time in the wet lab. They will be responsible for measuring antibiotic and bacterial resistance- using IC50 assays and aseptic techniques. They will transform the cells and measure IC50 (Half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) is the most widely used and informative measure of a drug's efficacy. It indicates how much drug or other substance is needed to inhibit a biological process by half, thus providing a measure of the potency of an antagonist.) They will move from project to project over time.
