LifeSensors, Inc. is a global leader in research involving the Ubiquitin Proteasome System (UPS) a cellular pathway that degrades damaged proteins. UPS provides a challenge as a new wave of drugs are emerging, such as PROtein TArgeting Chimeras (PROTACs) and Molecular Glues that target undruggable space. Our technologies are used worldwide by academic, pharma and biotech companies.  As the company grows, it is critical that we continue to innovate.  The scientist will be a part of research programs to develop innovative technologies, execute drug discovery projects for our clients, as well as drive the development of new products and product applications. They will write scientific articles, patents, and present data at national and international meetings.  Please consult our website www.lifesensors.com for more details.
