Founding Research Scientist Biology
GloGlo, San Francisco, California
The role
We are looking for a Founding Research Scientist in Biology to help build our experimental research program from the ground up. This is a hands-on startup role for someone who wants to think beyond the traditional biotech playbook and help take ideas from hypothesis → experiment → preclinical validation → IND → Phase 1 as quickly and rigorously as possible.
What you will do
- Turn biological questions and AI-generated hypotheses into rigorous experiments
- Design and execute in vitro studies and help develop in vivo programs
- Analyze results and feed experimental evidence back into our AI systems
- Develop assays, models, and experimental workflows from scratch
- Help prioritize targets and therapeutic approaches
- Build our early wet-lab capabilities and scientific partnerships
- Work with CROs, academic collaborators, and external labs when outsourcing is faster than building internally
- Help plan the path toward candidate selection, IND-enabling studies, regulatory submission, and first-in-human / Phase 1 trials
