Description

About the AI Bio Hub

The AI Bio Hub is a venture creation and innovation platform focused on the convergence of artificial intelligence, biology, therapeutics, and healthcare.

Created by C10 Labs in partnership with LabCentral, the AI Bio Hub brings together exceptional founders, scientists, technologists, investors, mentors, and industry partners to build the next generation of AI-enabled life science companies.

Through mentorship, technical support, venture-building resources, programming, and access to the Cambridge innovation ecosystem, the AI Bio Hub helps founders translate scientific and technical innovation into high-impact companies.

Position Summary

The AI Bio Hub is seeking an entrepreneurial and technically capable Fellow to support founders building companies across artificial intelligence, biotechnology, therapeutics, drug discovery, diagnostics, computational biology, synthetic biology, and healthcare.

The Fellow will work directly with participating companies and the AI Bio Hub team to evaluate technical opportunities, conduct scientific and market research, develop prototypes, assess data and model strategies, support venture creation, and accelerate company development.

This role is ideal for someone who wants hands-on experience at the intersection of artificial intelligence, scientific innovation, entrepreneurship, and venture capital.
