Research Associate Portland, Oregon

At Edgewise, patients are at the core of everything we do. We recognize that for patients with rare and debilitating diseases, every day without an effective treatment is a day too late and we are driven by this urgency to evolve disease knowledge with an aim to develop novel precision medicines for severe and debilitating rare muscle disorders. Our intimate knowledge of muscle biology and biophysics along with our ability to identify and design muscle specific precision small molecules have enabled us to rapidly advance our lead product candidate into clinical development while advancing our preclinical pipeline. From this foundation, we are continuing to build a leading, global biopharmaceutical company focused on rare diseases involving muscle in order to develop transformative precision medicines to treat and possibly cure these disorders. We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of innovative treatments for severe, rare muscle disorders for which there is significant unmet medical need. Guided by our holistic drug discovery approach to targeting the muscle as an organ, we have combined our foundational expertise in muscle biology and small molecule engineering to build our proprietary, muscle focused drug discovery platform. Our platform utilizes custom-built high throughput and translatable systems that measure integrated muscle function in whole organ extracts to identify small molecule precision medicines regulating key proteins in muscle tissue, initially focused on addressing rare neuromuscular and cardiac diseases. Edgewise is a small, diverse team with critical work to do. We seek to hire collaborative and motivated individuals who share our vision for developing innovative treatments for severe, rare muscle disorders for which there is significant unmet medical need. Edgewise provides excellent compensation and benefits, as well as the opportunity to be part of a passionate and driven biotech team in beautiful Boulder, CO. With numerous bike paths and sunny days, many employees enjoy commuting to work by bike, and spending the weekends exploring the Rocky Mountains. It is easy to understand why Boulder has won many awards and accolades for its recreation, health, culture and overall quality of life.
