Scientist (Lipid Biology/Biochemistry)

GABAeron, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company focusing on developing therapies using stem
cells and small molecules to treat neurological diseases. GABAeron takes a novel approach that
combines precision medicine (using genetic information for patient stratification) with regenerative
medicine (using human iPSC-derived cell products for therapy) and pharmacological intervention

or protect some of the most vulnerable brain cell populations to restore and preserve brain
functions with human iPSC-derived cell products and small molecules in patients with genetically
defined neurological diseases.

We are looking for an outstanding scientist with in-depth knowledge of lipid biology, particularly
