About Nura Bio
At Nura Bio (previously known as Proneurotech Inc.), we envision a world where the diagnosis of a neurological disorder comes with the hope of a cure. Expanding on recent breakthroughs in crucial neurodegenerative pathways, we are positioned to deliver transformative neuroprotective therapies to prevent and protect against neuronal loss and related neuroimmune dysregulation.Job Description
Nura Bio, Inc. (Nura Bio) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing neuroprotective therapies for the treatment of a broad range of neurological diseases. Nura Bio’s research and early development small molecule pipeline is focused on developing therapies that halt axon degeneration and/or modulate microglial responses to degeneration and injury, with the goal of conferring neuroprotection, across diseases of the central, peripheral, and ocular nervous system.
We are looking for a highly motivated Senior Research Associate in the Biology team to conduct exciting research at Nura Bio in the areas of in vitro and in vivo neurobiology. As a member of the Nura Bio team, you will be part of a culture of scientific excellence, rigorous innovation, and collaboration.
Nura Bio offers a comprehensive generous medical and dental insurance, vision, life and disability insurance, health savings account, flexible savings, and dependent care, 401(k) plan, and highly attractive stock options.
