Grants Program Specialist

Disease detection through smell? That’s right. With every breath, we release a health snapshot right into the air. This is the body’s hidden language, and up until now, it’s gone unnoticed. We're changing that. Inspired by nature and with a boost from NASA, we’ve developed the world’s first fully-integrated diagnostic breathalyzer. It’s capable of decoding these health signals in real-time and at any point-of-care. We’re bringing the sense of smell to the forefront of medicine and welcoming a new era of healthcare. 

Are you passionate about unlocking a new era of healthcare? Do you thrive in thinking big, embracing innovation, and pushing boundaries? Are you driven to consistently exceed expectations and deliver extraordinary results? If so, this role could be your perfect fit. In this role, you will play a pivotal role in advancing our mission to elevate human health by unlocking the digital sense of smell.
