The position involves work at the interface of product development and manufacturing within a small but innovative biotechnology setting.

Company Description

Arbor Vita Corporation is dedicated to protecting women’s health across all ages, races, and locations. Current screening methods like Pap smears and HPV DNA tests detect cervical cell changes or HPV presence but require complex processing, limiting their effectiveness, especially in rural areas. Our OncoE6TM Cervical Test offers a simpler alternative: it requires no refrigeration, is easy to administer (including self-collection), and provides results in just over two hours. Our test aims to deliver rapid, accurate results for women under 21 and over 60, populations often underserved by conventional testing.
