Vivodyne
The Director, Cell & Tissue Engineering will lead design, development, validation, and scaling of high-fidelity lab-grown human tissue systems that power Vivodyne’s platform for predictive biology and therapeutic discovery. This hands-on, on-site role in South San Francisco combines scientific leadership, operational execution, and cross-functional collaboration to deliver reproducible tissue products at industrial scale and advance drug discovery efforts. The director will represent Vivodyne externally, manage R&D programs and budgets, and mentor a multidisciplinary team.
Vivodyne is a frontier bio-AI lab that generates human data at AI scale using autonomous robotic laboratories (HIVEs) and the most realistic lab-grown human tissues ever grown outside the body. Their platform combines advanced microfluidic TissueDisk chips, self-assembling organ tissues, and multi-modal single-cell data generation to produce large-scale perturbational datasets for training human tissue foundation models. Vivodyne partners with leading biopharma companies to advance therapeutics development with human data before the clinic.
