Retro is a mission-first company committed to extending healthy human lifespan by 10 years. We seek world-class scientists who fit our 5-dimensional culture: 1. Adventurous - More pirate than navy. We dive in and engineer around obstacles. 2. Direct and clear - Shortest path to close the loop. High signal to noise. Zero politics. 3. High-Performers - We are players not watchers. Driven. Mad skills without hubris. Best person for the role. 4. T-Shaped - Curiosity has driven us to learn broadly and, in at least one domain, deeply. 5. Optimistic and Mission-focused - We believe we can fundamentally improve the human condition. If our mission and culture resonate with you, reach out. It’s time to build! https://retro.bio/careers/ #NowHiring #Aging #BioTech

“The MCRI and Retro both have a grand vision of turning the technology into preventative medicine, "Joe Betts-LaCroix" said. Replacing an aging blood system with a young one, based on a person’s own genetics, could help thwart blood-related diseases that people face later in life, creating a ‘significant age reset.’” Our thanks to Endpoints News reporter Kyle LaHucik for highlighting Retro’s new collaboration with Murdoch Children's Research Institute (MCRI).
