Employer: BMI OrganBank Expires: 07/31/2026 About usBMI OrganBank is an early-stage biomedical venture developing machine perfusion technology to extend the viable preservation of transplantable organs. Every year, thousands of donated organs are discarded because current cold-storage methods can't keep them viable long enough to reach the right recipient. We're building the hardware, perfusate chemistry, and protocols to change that — keeping livers, kidneys, pancreata, and intestines metabolically supported outside the body for far longer than is possible today.You'd be joining a small, hands-on team where the work moves fast, the science is translational, and a single well-run experiment can change the direction of the company.The roleWe're hiring a Research Laboratory Technician to run and support our ex-vivo organ perfusion experiments end to end. This is a bench-and-OR-table role: you'll prepare perfusion circuits, assist with organ procurement and cannulation in large-animal (porcine) models, monitor organs on the device through long preservation runs, collect and log physiologic and biochemical data, and help keep the lab and animal-research operations running cleanly.Because the central scientific question is how long can we keep an organ alive and functional, the most important experiments run on the organ's clock, not ours. Extended preservation runs routinely span nights and weekends, and this role requires regular overnight and weekend coverage — planned in advance and shared across the team. If a perfusion run starts Friday afternoon and needs eyes on it through Sunday, that's the job. We're upfront about this because it's central to the work, and because the people who thrive here find the overnight runs to be where the most interesting science happens.What you'll doAssemble, prime, and troubleshoot machine perfusion circuits, pumps, oxygenators, and sensors before and during experimentsAssist the surgical team with large-animal organ procurement, back-table preparation, and vascular cannulationMonitor organs during normothermic and hypothermic perfusion runs — tracking flow, pressure, oxygenation, perfusate gases, temperature, and viability markersCollect, label, and process biological samples (perfusate, blood, tissue/biopsy) and run associated assaysRecord data accurately and in real time; help maintain clean, audit-ready experimental recordsMaintain perfusion equipment, lab inventory, sterile supplies, and consumablesSupport animal-research operations in compliance with IACUC protocols and institutional/regulatory standardsHelp refine and document protocols as the platform evolvesWho this is ideal forThis position is purpose-built for someone with a bachelor's degree who is planning to apply to medical or veterinary school in the next few years and wants serious, hands-on exposure before they go.You will spend your days alongside transplant-surgery and surgical-research mentors, scrubbed in on large-animal models, watching organ procurement and perfusion up close, and learning the physiology of preservation in a way no classroom offers. For a future surgeon or veterinarian, this is unusually direct exposure to operative technique, transplant science, perioperative organ physiology, and translational research — plus mentorship and, for strong contributors, the kind of recommendation letters and research experience that strengthen a professional-school application.If you want a comfortable 9-to-5, this isn't it. If you want a launchpad and you're willing to trade some nights and weekends to get it, you'll get more out of two years here than most applicants get anywhere.Required qualificationsBachelor's degree in biology, biomedical engineering, physiology, animal science, neuroscience, or a related fieldComfort with hands-on technical and wet-lab work; good manual dexterityWillingness and availability to work overnight and weekend shifts on a rotating, planned basisStrong attention to detail and disciplined record-keepingReliability and sound judgment in a small team where people depend on each otherComfortable working in or around an animal-research and surgical environmentStrong diplomatic and communication skills to succeed in a large team environmentPreferred (not required)Prior wet-lab, surgical, OR, EMT, veterinary-clinic, or animal-handling experienceFamiliarity with sterile technique, perfusion, anesthesia monitoring, or physiologic data collectionCoursework or experience in transplantation, organ preservation, or large-animal modelsBasic data/spreadsheet skills for logging and organizing experimental resultsWhat you'll gainDirect, mentored exposure to the surgical and scientific aspects of organ transplantationHands-on experience with large-animal research modelsA meaningful role in early-stage medical-device developmentStrong preparation — and references — for medical or veterinary schoolAuthorship or acknowledgment opportunities on resulting research, where contributions warrantTo apply: Send a résumé and a short note about your career goals (and your med/vet school timeline) to BMI.
