Job Description
Our Mission is to Map the Universe of Biology.
Improving the human condition is what fuels our passion for finding new ways of enabling scientific exploration. As a company we strive to create endtoend solutions that are simpler easier faster and more relevant to todays life science challenges.
As the pioneer in the field ofspatial biologyNanoStringenables scientists across the globe to envision molecular interactions in three dimensions with three different systems thenCounter Analysis System theGeoMx Digital Spatial Profiler(DSP) and theCosMx Spatial Molecular Imager(SMI) platform. As a result scientists can see themultiomicexpression of genes and proteins in the natural context of tissue structure.
Since our founding in 2003 we have earned a reputation as a respected trusted pioneer of innovative technologies that support our customers in their relentless pursuit of answers. Our products are based on a novel digital molecular barcoding technology invented at the Institute for Systems Biology (ISB) in Seattle under the direction of Dr. Leroy Hood.
With our technologies our customers continue to extend our understanding of biology to answer previously unsolvable questions with consistent reliable results.
