sample collection market intelligence management research biotechnologyPROJECT DESCRIPTION
Nimble Science has developed and clinically validated a novel ingestible capsule device for GI sample collection. The device allows exploration of the previously inaccessible areas deep in the gut.
Nimble will be expanding the team to extend their services to their customers. Instead of serving as the capsule device providers, Nimble will also provide downstream sample processing and bioinformatic analysis. A gut microbiome scientist / CSO will be the next key hire for the compnay.
The student will work with the management of the company to find potential candidates for this job. The student will work closely with the CTO to conduct a comprehensive review of the young scientists from the world's leading biotechnology companies and create a database of the suitable candidates. Nimble will conduct subsequent reaching out and interviews with the candidates from this database.
KEY PROJECT ACTIVITIES
- Build a list of world's leading companies in the human microbiome area.
- Assess the research profiles / skillsets of the potential candidates
- Make entries into Nimble's market intelligence database using our template
STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIESThe micro-placement student will be conducting the above project activities under supervision of the management team (CTO/CEO). The student will be meeting with CTO on weekly basis (min 1 hour / week) to plan the project and solve problems along the road. This placement can be completed online or in-person. Our location is across from the university in the Life Sciences Innovation Hub at UCalgary.
About the company
Nimble Science is a health technology company delivering precision GI datasets leveraging the SIMBA GI Platform, an advanced capsule sampling technology that collects endoscopic quality intestinal liquid biopsies directly from the small intestine.
Provided as a home kit, the platform enables diverse multi-omic data extraction (microbiome, metabolome, proteome etc.) synchronous with drug and/or food product ingestion. The Nimble GI Analytics Platform processes this data, leveraging AI and ML tools to extract spatially associated information from traditionally inaccessible GI regions.
