What is an organ perfusionist?

An Organ Perfusion job involves preserving and maintaining organs outside the body for transplantation using specialized machines that simulate blood flow. Professionals in this role operate perfusion devices, monitor organ function, and optimize conditions to improve transplant success. They work closely with transplant surgeons, coordinators, and medical teams to ensure organs remain viable before transplantation. This role requires knowledge of physiology, biomedical technology, and meticulous attention to detail.

What does an organ perfusionist do?

Organ Perfusionists are responsible for managing the preservation and transport of donor organs, which includes setting up and operating perfusion machines, monitoring organ function, and ensuring all documentation is accurate. They work closely with transplant surgeons, operating room staff, and organ recovery coordinators to ensure every step of the process meets strict medical and ethical standards. The role often requires being on-call and ready to respond quickly when organs become available. This fast-paced environment can be demanding, but it offers significant opportunities to impact patient outcomes and develop specialized expertise in transplant medicine.

What skills and qualifications are needed to thrive as an organ perfusionist?

To thrive as an Organ Perfusionist, you need a strong background in clinical sciences, physiology, and hands-on experience with perfusion techniques, generally supported by a relevant healthcare degree and specialized perfusionist certification. Familiarity with advanced organ preservation devices, blood gas analyzers, and ECMO or other perfusion systems is essential. Outstanding attention to detail, problem-solving abilities, and the capacity to work calmly under pressure are key soft skills in this field. These capabilities are vital to ensure optimal organ function during transplant procedures and to enable seamless teamwork in critical medical settings.

Job description

Until is a moonshot company building a “pause button” for biology. Our near-term focus is organ-scale reversible cryopreservation: preserving donated organs at subzero temperatures without ice formation, then rewarming them uniformly for transplant. By solving this grand challenge, we’re laying the foundation for whole-body reversible cryopreservation, giving patients a bridge to future cures.
 
To achieve our goal, we are assembling an interdisciplinary team to develop perfusion systems, cryoprotectant formulations, and vitrification and rewarming hardware.
 
We envision a future where no transplantable organ is lost to logistics, and no terminal diagnosis is final because patients can safely wait for future medicine to arrive.
 
About The Role
We are seeking an experienced and dedicated full-time Research Associate to join our whole organ preservation team. As Research Associate, you will play a vital role in the scientific progress of our research program. The primary focus of this role is on developing organ perfusion protocols, with an emphasis on organ isolation, preservation, and viability evaluation. The person in this role is encouraged to take on significant ownership of specific technical challenges.
 
You will have the opportunity to collaborate with scientists and engineers across the company on variety of methods inspired by first principles of biology, physics, and chemistry. Creative scientific engagement is encouraged, and new avenues for discovery and optimization are continuously supported.
Responsibilities
  • Perform pig organ isolation and ex-vivo evaluation protocols, including perfusion and histology
  • Work within scientific team to evaluate health of organs following cryopreservation
  • Survey literature and conduct experimental tests to answer critical questions towards optimizing preservation protocol
  • Ensure accurate sample processing and on-time data reporting
Qualifications
  • You have an undergraduate degree in a STEM field, or significant STEM-related training
  • You have 2 years experience and an excellent record of success performing complex and demanding laboratory procedures, ideally with training in ex vivo organ perfusion and viability assessment.
  • You have demonstrated a passion for rapid problem solving and exploration of novel topics / protocols.
  • Desire to work in a laboratory setting.
  • You have experience or interest in physiology, with a creative approach to understanding and manipulating functions of organs.
  • You demonstrate agency, problem solving, passion for discovery, and a drive to push the boundaries of science through meaningful involvement in an ambitious project.
Benefits
  • Opportunity for outsized impact creating the future as an early team member
  • Generous medical, dental and vision insurance coverage
  • Flexible time off and paid holidays
  • Competitive compensation package, including salary and equity
  • 401(k) retirement savings plan
  • FSA and commuter benefits
  • Subsidized lunch daily
While this represents our expected range based on market data, final compensation will be determined based on your specific qualifications and may be outside this range. Please keep in mind that the equity portion of the offer is not included in this estimate.
As an equal opportunity employer, Until is committed to providing employment opportunities to all individuals. All applicants for positions at Until will be treated without regard to race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex, gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, age, marital status, veteran status, pregnancy, or any other basis prohibited by applicable law.
