Product Director, Digital Biology

Product Director, Digital Biology

ATCC, a pioneer in biomaterials manufacturing, will establish foundational databases that provide access to characterization data and reference data associated with all biological products. The digital biology endeavor will use existing and new standardized scientific methods and protocols from ATCC to generate a collection of datasets that can be used to quantify the structure, function and interacting dynamics of biological systems.

The Product Director, Digital Biology is remote and responsible for the development and launch of digital assets that combine scientific datasets generated by various departments king closely with the internal scientific and operations teams, as well as external engineers, this individual will manage the development of software intended for researchers to explore curated datasets generated using biomaterials maintained in ISO‑compliant conditions and using standardized protocols for assays.

The datasets will provide a foundational phenotypic map for researchers to use as a baseline when generating experimental data using ATCC's biological materials.

Your ability to think critically, problem solve and wear multiple hats will allow you to thrive in our dynamic environment. With a high level of autonomy and influence, you will be empowered to innovate and grow with our team!
