About
At the heart of Element Biosciences is a mission to democratize access to advanced biological tools, empowering the scientific community with greater freedom and flexibility to accelerate impactful discoveries for the benefit of humanity. Founded in 2017 by three passionate scientists, Molly He, Michael Previte, and Matthew Kellinger, the company was born from a dream to disrupt and democratize genomic sequencing and advanced biological tools. This vision drives their focus on developing disruptive DNA sequencing and multi-omics technology for research and diagnostic markets. Element Biosciences fosters a culture of continuous learning and growth, encapsulated in their saying, 'Always be learning. Always be growing.' They are committed to finding individuals who are never satisfied with the status quo and are dedicated to pushing the boundaries of innovation. Element Biosciences is a product-driven organization that values efficiency, scientific integrity, collegiality, honesty, objectivity, and openness. They strive to create an environment where employees can thrive in challenges, learn, and flourish. The team at Element sees themselves not just as colleagues but as a collaborative unit working towards a common goal: to provide affordable, high-quality data and an improved user experience that will accelerate scientific discoveries and broaden the use of genomic research. Their first product, the AVITI™ System, exemplifies this commitment by offering a modular and high-performing DNA sequencing platform. With a strong emphasis on customer support and teamwork, Element Biosciences is dedicated to making a meaningful impact on the world by providing innovative tools that empower scientists and researchers globally. Their remote working policy further underscores their commitment to flexibility and bringing the scientific community closer, breaking down geographical barriers to foster collaboration and innovation.
