POSITION SPECIFICATION Position: Analytical Chemistry Scientist - Job Specification Company: Nuritas Location: Dublin Reporting Relationship: Head of Proteomics & Analytical Science
COMPANY BACKGROUND / CULTURE Nuritas is revolutionizing the discovery of novel, natural and scientifically proven bioactive ingredients that enable their partners to create better or new product solutions for their customers.
The company's disruptive computational approach to discovery uses artificial intelligence, deep learning, and genomics to rapidly and efficiently predict and unlock the most health-benefiting components hidden within plants and natural food sources, called peptides.
Nuritas has established the world's largest peptide knowledge base.
Through its discoveries, Nuritas aims to manage and improve human health and help make our food system more sustainable by replacing current unwanted ingredients with more natural and sustainable ones.
Since its founding in 2014, Nuritas has developed proprietary AI and DNA analysis to enhance the accurate analysis of molecules and peptides in food.
The new technology is significantly faster with unparalleled accuracy compared to traditional methods of discovery.
Founded by research scientist Dr. Nora Khaldi, Nuritas has received significant backing to develop its technology.
Nuritas has built and grown a unique discovery platform Np? (Nuritas Peptide Finder).
The Np? artificial intelligence platform with wet lab has been shaped and trained on years of proprietary experimental data as well as curated structured and unstructured data, allowing it to predict novel peptides with targeted efficacy.
Beyond efficacy, Np? can also predict with huge accuracy the chemical and physical characteristics of peptides needed to have clinical and commercial viability, such as cell penetration or bioavailability.
Np? has attracted high-profile partnerships and customers, including Nestle, Mars, Sumitomo Corporation, and Pharmavite.
Nuritas' science-proven bioactive peptides are unlocked from plants and natural food sources, with applications across functional foods, supplements, medical food, cosmetics, and food technology.
Separately, the beating heart of Nuritas is their incredibly passionate team.
Nuritas has an international team comprising over 16 different nationalities with offices in Dublin and Connecticut.
They are also very proud of their gender balance with 50% women and men across the team.
The Nuritas Data Scientists, Biologists, AI Engineers, Chemists, Commercial, and Operations teams bring innovation, passion, and flexibility to their work every day.
With an extremely strong team, advisory board, investors, and collaborations, the Nuritas mission is to unlock the benefits of nature and improve the lives of billions.
