Dyno was named Startup of the Year in 2020 by Xconomy, Endpoints 11 in 2021, and one of America’s Best Startups in 2022 & 2023 by Forbes!
The Role
Manager/Sr. Manager - Medium Throughput AAV Manufacturing. Dedicated scientist and people manager with a strong background in vector production and molecular biology. At Dyno, we discover novel AAV capsids with the potential to improve gene therapies. An essential component of the discovery process is capsid validation, wherein AAV capsids identified in high-throughput screening workflows are further characterized using targeted lower throughput multiplexed assays.
