Are you looking for a great job opportunity and fun at the workplace at the same time?
Join our exciting interdisciplinary team working on cutting edge bioactive compounds (peptides) development for weed and disease control.
Micropep was founded in 2016 in Toulouse, France, as a spin out from Toulouse University, a centre of excellence for AgriTech. The company has developed an innovative discovery platform for the development of novel peptide-based biological products for agriculture. It identifies and enhances the expression of naturally occurring, micro-RNA derived, regulatory peptides (miPEPs) that can transiently regulate the expression of plants' microRNAs and their targeted genes.
Since 2018, Micropep has raised €4M and €8.5M in Series A funding and our great adventure is continuing both in UE and US!
