A new approach to primary cell screening

Our story begins with a very concrete research need, i.e. screen GPCR targeting drugs in primary human cells.

    We believe we can change the world
    We are driven by our passion for what we do. We care about the people we work with. We want to learn from each other, share our expertise, and help each other succeed. Our work isn’t always easy or straightforward, so we understand the importance of balancing fun with focus.

  • Curiosity

    We know there’s always more to learn
    We love to ask “what if” and “why not”. We push past the obvious and are open to all possibilities. Our scientific curiosity helps us challenge assumptions and make breakthroughs others may not consider. We thrive on learning new things, exploring new situations, and constantly improving.

  • Problem-solving mindset

    We see problems as an opportunity
    We love to solve interesting puzzles. We are always looking for answers, fueled by our determination to move forward. We get back up after being knocked down, push through difficult times, and apply the collective wisdom of the team to come up with new solutions.

  • Excellence

    We’re always in the pursuit of excellence
    We’re proud of the work we do, and everyone who contributes to our success. We give credit where its due. If we’re not seeing the results we want, we think quickly, make fast and pragmatic decisions, and change direction. We know great things happen because of our teamwork. Our combined knowledge, different perspectives, varied experience, and complementary skills help us push the boundaries of science.
