I’m hiring to build out our team at Leuko, looking for Julia-centric people to help develop and implement deep learning/machine vision-based integrated device software and cloud platforms.
We span Leuko out last year from a project we started as postdocs at MIT, making the first ever noninvasive white blood cell monitor for detecting life threatening immunosuppression in chemotherapy patients. You can read more at MIT News!
We’re currently transitioning a validated research codebase (a mixture of Matlab and Python) into a product implementation codebase (focused in Julia).
If either of the two roles below are of interest, reach out to me with a CV at careers@leuko.io or on the Julia slack if you have questions!
About Leuko
Leuko, an MIT Spin-out, is developing the world’s first non-invasive white blood cell monitoring device. White blood cell assessment is a first-line indicator for various medically-relevant situations, ranging from chemotherapy management to the detection of life threatening infections worldwide. This test is currently invasive and not readily accessible - it requires patient travel, blood draws and laboratory infrastructure. This currently limits the frequency of monitoring, which puts patients’ health, and even lives, at risk. Leuko is re-imagining the way to perform these tests without extracting blood and in a portable device. Leuko’s vision is to empower patients and their loved ones, and make their lives better and safer by providing them with broad and immediate access to blood testing. In 2018, our work has been awarded 1st prize at the Startup Worldcup, 1st prize at MassChallenge HealthTech and 1st prize at the M2D2 Medical Device competition.
