Why should you join our team:
Benjamin Franklin once said: “If you would not be forgotten as soon as you are dead, either write something worth reading, or do something worth writing.” — at Mendel you can do the latter. There are two things more devastating than learning that you or your loved ones have a terminal illness; getting the wrong treatment or not finding any. At Mendel, we are on a sincere mission to solve many never-solved-before technology challenges that can enable prescribers and drug makers to do their best
