Union Biometrica is a privately owned equal opportunity employer. We are a small team of highly motivated scientists and engineers best known for our specialty flow cytometers for high-speed analysis and gentle sorting of objects which are too large or fragile for traditional flow cytometers. Examples include: small model organisms (C. elegans, D. melanogaster, zebrafish), large fragile cells/cell clusters (pancreatic islets, stem cell clusters, adipocytes, tumor spheroids, organoids and duct cells), and cells growing in or on beads. Another of our products is the VAST BioImager system for automating zebrafish imaging. (www.unionbio.com).
Good people are our most important asset. This is a US based internship located in the Greater Boston area (Holliston, MA). A resume and cover letter can be sent directly to jobs@unionbio.com.
