Drs. Wong & Douam & our teams are excited to share our paper in @NatureBiotech reporting on how modified self-amplifying RNA (saRNA) enables potent low dose vaccines, because unlike mRNA, saRNA is functional for a month. https://t.co/LRWL5lYxLI @BostonU_BME @neidl @BUCollegeofENG

Sharing a great job opportunity at Nuceptive Labs. Nuceptive's high tech, low pain adhesive is a first-in-class product, and this is an exciting role for someone looking to be part of an experienced and dynamic team.

[Keith Hearon @keith_hearon]

My low pain adhesives company Nuceptive Labs is seeking a Chief Commercial Officer to drive healthcare market traction for our skin friendly wound care platform.

Our founding team has built an excellent core adhesive technology with very little capital. Our adhesive products stick like Duct Tape and remove like a Post-It note.

Role qualifications include significant industry relationships and business development experience with medical distributors and providers.

This is a U.S. based role. Please message me directly if someone in network comes to mind.
