Role summary
GloGlo is an AI-native therapeutics company in San Francisco aiming to eradicate Type 1 diabetes. They are seeking a Founding Research Scientist in Biology to establish their experimental research program. This role involves hands-on wet-lab work, experimental design, data analysis, and integrating findings with AI systems. The ideal candidate has a PhD in a relevant biological field (immunology, autoimmunity, T1D, beta-cell biology, cell biology, molecular biology) with strong wet-lab experience and the ability to design and execute experiments independently. Experience with AI in biology is preferred.
**Our mission: eradicate Type 1 diabetes.**
\
GloGlo is building an AI-native therapeutics company based in **San Francisco**. We are developing AI research agents that analyze scientific literature and biological datasets, generate and challenge hypotheses, design experiments, and learn from wet-lab results.\
We are building a tight **in silico <> in vitro / in vivo** feedback loop to identify better targets and move faster toward new therapies.\
We are looking for a **Founding Research Scientist in Biology** to help build our experimental research program from the ground up. This is a hands-on startup role: you will move quickly between scientific questions, experimental design, wet-lab work, data analysis, and decisions about what to test next.
\
What you’ll do
* Turn biological questions and AI-generated hypotheses into rigorous experiments
* Design and execute in vitro studies and help develop in vivo programs
* Analyze results and feed experimental evidence back into our AI systems
* Develop assays, models, and experimental workflows from scratch
* Help prioritize targets and therapeutic approaches
* Build our early wet-lab capabilities and scientific partnerships
* Work directly with the founders and scientific leadership
\
\
What we’re looking for
* PhD or equivalent research experience in **immunology, autoimmunity, T1D, beta-cell biology, cell biology, molecular biology, or related fields**
* Strong hands-on wet-lab experience
* Ability to independently design, execute, and troubleshoot experiments
* Comfortable working in a fast-moving, ambiguous startup environment
* Excited about combining AI and experimental biology
* High scientific rigor, curiosity, and willingness to challenge assumptions
One of our founders has lived with Type 1 diabetes for 17 years. **We intend to work on this until we solve it.**
