Job Title: Product Engineer

Location: Remote (Preferred locations: Montreal, Toronto, or LA)

Company: Acorn Biolabs

With offices in Toronto and Los Angeles, Acorn is a next-generation personalized regenerative medicine company with services offered at partner clinics across Canada and the US. Acorn has developed the world’s first non-invasive, follicle-based cell cryopreservation service, launched in 2022, and has patented cell-based treatments made from a patient’s follicle cells in Aesthetics and Sports Medicine.

Acorn’s first cell-derived treatment is an autologous growth factor and exosome product developed from an individual's collected cells with applications in skin and hair rejuvenation, wound healing, and orthopedics. Data on concentrations of exosomes and growth factors and ex vivo performance far exceeded what is currently available.

Acorn is also actively involved in scientific research with top healthcare and education institutions in North America, including the National Research Council, the University of Toronto, Mount Sinai Hospital, and the University of Calgary, to further the potential of cells in the follicle across many areas of general health.
