If this doesn't apply to you, please disregard. Thanks, Kathy Young Chief Operating Officer Fannie & John Hertz Foundation Dear Hertz Fellows and Alumni, We are an early-stage startup located in the SF bay area building a really exciting technology to revolutionize Next Generation Sequencing. Our company is truly multidisciplinary- together we have backgrounds in biochemistry, chemistry, microfluidics, engineering and computational biology. We are a young company but we are very ambitious and our leadership includes founders of the some of the biggest companies in Biotech. We are currently looking for a superstar in Computational Biology (see the attached job description), but are always interested in meeting talented people in any discipline. If you or anyone you know is interested, please reach out to me at mike(a)10xtechnologies.com<mailto:mike@10xtechnologies.com>. Michael Schnall-Levin (Hertz Fellow 2006 - 2011)
