Careers
Build materials with biology.
CutisBio is a Seoul-based team of synthetic biologists, microbiologists and physician-scientists, working with veterans of industrial fermentation on our own biofoundry. If you want your work to leave the lab and become a material people actually use, this is the place to do it.
Why CutisBio
Work that connects the bench to the factory.
Mission
We design living cells to make everyday life healthier and more beautiful. Every role, from strain design to business development, is measured by materials that reach health, beauty and fashion markets.
Interdisciplinary work
Metabolic engineers, fermentation scientists, physician-scientists and analytical specialists work on the same programme on a robotic biofoundry, so decisions about a strain are made with the process, the quality specification and the partner in view.
Translation to industry
Our partners are brands, ingredient buyers and manufacturers in health, beauty and fashion markets. You see how a material is qualified, transferred and used, not only how it is made.
Disciplines
Five disciplines, one programme.
We hire for depth in a discipline and for the willingness to work across them.
Metabolic engineering
Host selection, pathway design, genome editing and screening to build strains for industrial performance.
Fermentation
Cultivation strategy, process control and scale-up studies that make a strain perform reliably in a bioreactor.
Downstream processing
Harvest, purification and formulation that recover a molecule as a material of consistent quality.
Analytical science
Methods, specifications and quality data that let us define what a material is and prove it.
Business development
Partnerships with brands, ingredient buyers and manufacturers, from the first conversation to supply.
Values
How we work.
- 01
Rigour
We hold claims to the evidence behind them, design experiments to be repeatable, and write things down so others can build on them.
- 02
Ownership
People own outcomes, not tasks. You are trusted to make decisions in your area and expected to see them through.
- 03
Collaboration
Strain, process, quality and commercial work are one programme. We share problems early and give credit generously.
- 04
Integrity
We separate what is public from what is confidential, keep partner information protected, and say clearly what we do not yet know.
