About The Company
Culture is your bioreactor lab, in the cloud. We help scientists accelerate bioprocess development with our high-throughput bioreactor cloud lab. You design your experiment, and we execute the experiment in our lab using our 250mL bioreactors. We take care of the high-quality execution so that you can focus on developing processes. While your experiment runs in our lab, you can monitor and analyze your data in real time using our online dashboard. With Culture, get faster insights to make better, data-driven decisions.
About the Role

About Us:

Culture’s mission is to simplify and accelerate bioprocess development to enable our customers to bring their biopharmaceutical products to market faster.

With a focus on upstream cell culture process development, Culture has developed a unique platform that merges products, services and data management that can be applied to mammalian, microbial and viral vector production processes. This platform enables high-throughput process development projects to be rapidly and seamlessly executed directly by our customers in their own facilities, in our service laboratories, or both, all driven by our cloud-connected web application, accessible from anywhere, for designing, managing and analyzing experiments.

At Culture, we combine our passions for biomanufacturing, engineering, and operations to build new solutions that make bioprocess development faster. We value curiosity, communication, collaboration, a customer focused mindset and a drive for results.
