Company profile:
Nutrir Limited is a cultivated-meat company that utilizes techniques in tissue engineering / regenerative medicine to produce real meat without the negative health, environmental, and ethical impacts of traditional meat. Specifically, the cultivated-meat product can reduce the greenhouse and water consumption of meat production by 96%, all without killing of billions of animals per year. Since everything is grown in-vitro, harmful compounds of meat can be eliminated, making it a much healthier alternative for you and your loved ones. Our vision is to utilize cutting-edge tissue engineering techniques to improve the affordability and texture of Wagyu Meat. Nutrir has currently achieved cost reductions from USD$2000+/kg of meat to <USD$20/kg. On top of this, our “Myofibre Fabricating Platform” is able to recapitulate the exact structure of traditional meat products, thus replicating texture.
Job Description:
In this role, candidates will be responsible for the development of both the “Myofibre Fabricating Platform” and further reduce costs for a textured and affordable cultivated-meat product. Roles and duties will include, but is not limited, to the following:
• Utilize microfluidic approaches to engineer muscle-fibres and marbled fat
• Initiate research on vegan natural edible hydrogels with desired mechanical properties
• Control for process parameters such as flow rates and mechanical stimulation
• Perform genetic and protein analysis using PCR, Western blot, ELISA, etc.
• Perform in-vitro toxicity studies using cell-proliferation assays (e.g. MTT, Alamar Blue)
Essential skills/Job Requirements:
• Degree in Bioengineering/Biomaterials/Chemistry or other related degrees (B.S./M.S.)
• Cell-culture experience
Other skills (preferred):
• Experience with microfluidics and hydrogels
• Chemical conjugation
• Cell culture
• Design of experiments
• Other analytical techniques: E.g. qPCR, western blotting, proliferation assays
• Experience in cell signaling research
• Media optimization
• Plant-biology
