About Tahoe Therapeutics

Tahoe Therapeutics is a biotechnology company pioneering a fundamentally new approach to drug discovery, one that begins with the biology of real patients. Our Mosaic platform is the first to make in vivo data generation scalable, with single-cell resolution, allowing us to map how drugs affect patient-derived cells in the body across a wide range of biological contexts. We are building the world’s largest in vivo single-cell perturbation atlas and using it to train multimodal foundation models that learn the context-dependent nature of gene function, disease progression, and drug response.

By combining cutting-edge machine learning with the most biologically relevant datasets ever assembled in drug discovery, our mission is to find better drugs, faster and bring them to more patients who need them.

Your role

We are seeking a talented and motivated Research Associate to join the Tahoe Therapeutics team. This position is laboratory-based and will require close work with team members to maintain cancer cell lines and support our Mosaic and Validation experiments. We are looking for a candidate who is a dedicated team player, capable of assisting with several projects at once, and one who thrives in a collaborative environment between multiple innovative individuals. Scientists that demonstrate self-motivation and enthusiasm for scientific bench work are strongly encouraged.

Qualifications

What We Do

Tahoe Therapeutics (formerly Vevo Therapeutics) is a biotechnology company using its in vivo drug discovery platform and next generation AI models to uncover better drugs for more patients. The company’s Mosaic platform is the first to make in vivo data generation scalable, with single-cell precision, to capture in vivo context of disease at the first step of drug discovery and to better represent patient diversity in drug response over current in vitro assays. Tahoe is using Mosaic to build the world’s largest in vivo atlas of how drugs interact with patient cells and training AI models on its data to find novel targets and drugs undetectable by other technologies.

Located in South San Francisco, CA, Tahoe was founded by a team of inventors and thought leaders who have discovered drugs for “undruggable” targets and invented novel methods in genomics, computational biology, and chemistry. Learn more at www.tahoebio.ai.
