28bio is a neurotechnology company engineering human brains at-scale exhibiting memory, learning, and cognitive functions. Its Nexon™ platform integrates tissue engineering, neural interfacing, and AI to reverse today’s neurological health crisis by improving the ability to predict which therapies will work in humans.

The Nexon™ platform also incorporates Organoid Intelligence (OI). The growing field of OI combines human brain organoids with brain-machine interfaces to model memory, learning, and cognition in vitro, offering novel functional cognitive biomarkers with the potential to reshape drug development in neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer’s disease.

The Nexon™ platform is now being used to improve the prediction of therapeutic efficacy and toxicity in humans, with several of the world’s largest pharma companies already integrating Nexon™ into their drug development workflows.

We are seeking a highly driven and scientifically rigorous Field Application Scientist with deep expertise in preclinical drug discovery and replacing animal models with organoid models to predict clinical toxicity and efficacy. This role will work closely with our sales team to provide customers with scientific and technology support and ensure our scientific value proposition is appropriately positioned and communicated. The ideal candidate brings hands-on experience in neurological preclinical drug development, the use of healthy and diseased models, animal models and organoid models. This position combines strong model expertise with commercial acumen to accelerate platform adoption and drive revenue growth in drug discovery accounts.
