Cytograft Tissue Engineering is developing a state-of-the-art technology to produce tissue-engineered products[1]. The Company is growing rapidly and is currently running multiple clinical trials to evaluate its product Lifeline™, a completely biological and autologous tissue engineered vascular graft[2],[3]. These new vessels can be used as bypass grafts in patients who do not have suitable autologous vein/artery for bypass (heart or leg surgery, or as arteriovenous shunts for hemodialysis). Cytograft, which was recently recognized as one of the top 50 innovators by Scientific American[4], is a young company located in Novato, California (Marin) that provides a dynamic, open and flexible work environment to promote outstanding achievements. In return, we require a high level of drive, dedication and integrity from each of our employees.
