We’re looking for new team members to join us! At the MiLD, we pursue our own unique science driven by curiosity and individuality. We’d love to hear your unique perspectives and ideas for collaborative research between you and us. Our current work focuses on cellular microbiology, nano/microfluidic engineering, and quantitative live-cell imaging, but our approaches are not limited to these fields. Innovative ideas and expertise beyond our core areas are very welcome!
