About AnuBio

AnuBio is building a multicellular foundation model of the human immune system to transform drug discovery. Our platform, TRAILBLAZER, creates predictive digital twins of patient immunityenabling discovery of new therapies without predefined molecular targets.

We operate at the intersection of single-cell biology and AI, with active programs across immuno-oncology, autoimmune disease, and neuroinflammation. Our team includes scientists from leading global institutions, and we are rapidly scaling our data generation engine.

The Role

We are hiring a Scientist to build and own scRNA-seqsingle-cell platform in Chennai.

You will take full ownership, from setup and validation to high-throughput production (1M+ cells/run). This is a high-autonomy role for someone who has personally run single-cell assays and wants to lead a critical capability from the ground up.

What Youll Do

• Establish and scale scRNA-seq workflows
• Own end-to-end execution: Planning Supplies sample prep library prep QC sequencing handoff.
• Scale to high-throughput runs (384 samples, ~1M cells, semi-automation full-automation)
• Optimize and innovate protocols (cost, quality, efficiency)
• Troubleshoot independently and document improvements
• Manage reagents, vendors, and sequencing logistics
• Collaborate with ML teams to ensure high-quality data output
• Build and train a growing wet-lab team

Required Qualifications

• PhD (or equivalent experience) in genomics, molecular biology, immunology, or related field
• Hands-on experience with single-cell RNA-seq (Parse Evercode, SPLiT-seq, sci-RNA-seq, etc.)
• Strong NGS library prep & QC skills
• Proven ability to implement and optimize assays independently
• Experience with cell prep (PBMCs, nuclei, fixation methods)
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision

Preferred

• Basic familiarity with single-cell data analysis (Scanpy, Seurat, or similar)
• Experience developing genomics assays (NGS, library prep, nucleic acids enzymatic assays)
• Oligo/barcode design experience
• Exposure to scRNA-seq pipelines
• Basic Python/R for QC and tracking

Who Thrives Here

• Enjoys owning complex assays end-to-end
• Curious about data quality and outcomes
• Moves fast, experiments often, and learns from failure
• Documents and improves systems continuously

What We Offer

• High-impact work at the frontier of AI + biology
• Close collaboration with founders and ML team
• Competitive salary
