Dart NeuroScience LLC (DNS) is a privately held company with offices in San Diego, CA. DNS is discovering new technologies and developing new therapies to help maintain cognitive vitality throughout life. DNS's mission is to become the leading specialized pharmaceutical company for memory disorders by focusing on the discovery and development of innovative drugs with new mechanisms of action. These discoveries are firmly based in a careful examination of the genes involved in the reorganization of synaptic connections in the brain, a cellular/molecular process which underlies both implicit (motor skills) and explicit (facts and events) forms of memory. DNS's unique perspective originated with scientific findings at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL). CSHL developed an array of proprietary technologies that enable the identification of fruit fly genes that control memory. DNS has extended the functional links of these genes to memory in mammals and has grown its IP portfolio considerably with new methodologies to identify small molecular drugs from mammalian targets. DNS continues its focus on the identification and validation of genes involved in mammalian memory formation. With such gene targets, high-throughput screens are being carried out for compounds that enhance or inhibit the biochemical activity of the target gene - thereby yielding memory enhancers. Our unique company culture engages employees by promoting thought-provoking investigation and targeted research opportunities. Our collegial environment also recognizes the value of stimulating cross-functional communication and collaboration as catalysts in generating the creative spark that inspires novel approaches and produces ground-breaking results. We want to attract, retain, and reward the top talent in our field. If you are looking for a productive, meaningful career path in the area of neuroscience, we would like to hear from you!
