is a venture-backed company transforming stem cell biology with AI. We recently raised over $47 million in a Series A funding round, bringing our total funding to about $60 million. Just as LLMs revolutionized human language, we’re decoding the language of cells—how they communicate and decide their fate—using vast amounts of in-house generated data. Our AI models enable precise control over cell behavior, unlocking the potential to engineer therapies for diseases like diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases, and muscular dystrophies. Our platform,
DeltaStem , accelerates therapy creation and continually improves through data-driven insights.
Founded by
Dr. Micha Breakstone , a serial AI entrepreneur from MIT, and three Harvard Medical School professors, including the Chair of Genetics, Somite.ai is at the forefront of a new era in healthcare.

About The Role
We seek a motivated and experienced cell biologist to join our team and lead hiPSC-based differentiation efforts in support of novel cell therapy programs and our proprietary platform. In this role, you will design, optimize, and execute differentiation protocols to generate functionally relevant target cell types. You will play a critical role in driving protocol development, conducting high-throughput experiments, and collaborating cross-functionally with teams in platform development, process development, analytics, and translational research. This is a hands-on, lab-based position that requires strong technical expertise and the ability to work independently while contributing to collaborative project goals.
Responsibilities
Execute and optimize hiPSC differentiation protocols to generate target cell types with high reliability and reproducibility Maintain clear, organized records of experimental design, execution, and outcomes, with attention to detail and data integrity Prioritize and complete time-sensitive experiments critical to lead program progression Troubleshoot assay or protocol challenges independently and communicate proposed solutions in real time Support the production of scaled cell batches and assay execution Present findings and experimental progress in internal meetings, adapting communication for both technical and cross-functional audiences Collaborate closely with colleagues in process development, translational science, and manufacturing to advance shared objectives Share learnings, offer support, and help build a lab culture grounded in accountability, urgency, and team success
Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Biology, or a related field, with 5+ years of hands-on experience in hiPSC culture, differentiation, and characterization in biotechnology settings Alternatively, a Master’s degree in Biology or an equivalent field with 3+ years of experience Proven success in developing and scaling protocols for cell differentiation Proficiency in molecular and cell biology techniques, including immunofluorescence and FACS Demonstrated ability to lead production-scale experiments and time-sensitive studies Strong data analysis skills and familiarity with tools such as flow cytometry software Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal Detail-oriented with strong documentation and organizational skills and the ability to work independently
Preferred Qualifications
Degree concentrations in molecular biology, developmental biology, and/or stem cell biology Experience with technology transfer and standard operating procedure (SOP) development Knowledge of differentiating hiPSCs into multiple cellular lineages Prior experience in cell therapies and regenerative medicine Background in mentoring or training junior staff in stem cell workflows Comfortable operating in fast-paced, startup or early-phase biotech environments
Somite.ai’s Core Values
We show up – fully accountable, all-in, doing whatever it takes We act with urgency – swift, decisive, proactive We support one another – collaborative, helpful, empathetic
Benefits
Take a technical leadership role with a mission-driven company with the potential to significantly impact the lives of millions. Work alongside a talented and passionate team at the forefront of AI and cellular biology. Contribute to the development of groundbreaking therapies that address significant unmet medical needs. Enjoy a competitive salary / benefits package and a collaborative work environment.
Exceptional candidates who demonstrate outstanding capabilities and potential will be considered, even if they do not meet every qualification listed.
