About the job

Company Description

Human Biogenesis is a biotechnology company focused on developing innovative point-of-care diagnostic technologies designed to make critical biological testing faster, accessible, and affordable.

Our flagship product, SemSure, is a rapid semen detection test designed for both sexual wellness and forensic applications, providing results within minutes using lateral flow technology. The product is currently moving toward regulatory and commercial readiness, and the company is preparing for its market launch phase.
