Mytos builds robots that grow human cells. Our machines take stem cells as input, and grow them into specific cells like neurons or heart cells. Customers use our platform to scale stem-cell derived therapies to more patients sooner. We're also used to produce cells for testing new drugs on during R&D in Drug Discovery. Mytos is backed by leading investors, including YCombinator, Buckley Ventures and IQ Capital - as well as founders and execs from companies like Kite, Sana, Dropbox, and Revolut. Our team is made up of brilliant engineers from companies like Dyson and Autodesk - working hand-in-hand with Nature-published scientists. We're hiring now - visit our website to see open positions

About Us You rarely get the chance to change an entire industry. But that's the position we find ourselves in. Join us, and you’ll unleash scientists, accelerate their research and help get cures to patients sooner.
We’ve developed machines to fully automate human cell production - the most manual process in Biotech. Cells are used to discover and develop new drugs, and now they're being used to cure diseases like Parkinson’s and age-related blindness. Mytos will impact cure development across the board.
We're live in multibillion dollar biotechs on both coasts of the US, and raised $19m to expand into the market faster, and accelerate our development! Next year, neurons grown on our machines will be going into Parkinson patient brains.
We’ve assembled a world-class team to take on this challenge, with ex-Dyson engineers and Nature-published scientists working hand-in-hand. You can learn more about your potential Mytos teammates here: Team
Mytos is backed by Y Combinator, the most successful startup program in the world which produced companies such as AirBnb, Dropbox, and Ginkgo Bioworks.
