Project Manager – Biossil
About Biossil
Biossil is a Canadian biotechnology company founded in 2023 that leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to accelerate drug discovery and precision medicine. Rather than developing new drugs from the ground up, Biossil's platform identifies promising therapies from previously unsuccessful clinical programs and matches them with biologically defined patient populations, helping improve the efficiency of therapeutic development.
