RA/QA Manager

About the job

Signatur Biosciences was established with the mission of making cutting-edge diagnostic tools accessible to more patients around the world. The development of precision diagnostics has increasingly driven advances in life-saving personalized medicine, yet those innovations come with an ever-increasing price tag. Major players in molecular diagnostics have prioritized more and more complex and expensive equipment, rendering these advances inaccessible to many unless we do something about it.

Leveraging groundbreaking innovations in molecular design, we develop high-performance diagnostic tests that are specifically designed to run on equipment already found in biomedical labs around the world. We're worried about accessibility in precision diagnostics and are building a team of individuals who share our passion for solving this problem through close collaboration and a sense of urgency.
