About Nusano:
No patient should be denied the cancer care they need simply because some options are in short supply or unavailable. Yet, all too often, this is what happens.
Nusano is a medical technology company that creates radioisotopes used to target and eliminate cancer cells with precision. Health care has used radioisotopes to diagnose and treat cancer and other diseases for decades. But, if supply does not keep up with demand, patients will lose out on the benefits of these lifesaving, proven tools.
Nusano’s patented technologies and methods are poised to transform radioisotope production and usher in an exciting new era in cancer care. Our state-of-the-art facility in West Valley City, Utah will produce radioisotopes quickly, efficiently, and affordably.
This will make desperately needed resources available to hospitals and cancer clinics around the world and offer those with life-threatening diseases hope for a healthier tomorrow.
Benefits:
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees and their eligible dependents
• Stock Options
• 401(K) Retirement Plan
• Company-paid life insurance & AD&D coverage
• Company-paid short-term disability coverage
• Healthcare Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
• Dependent Care Reimbursement Account (DCRA)
• Voluntary Life Insurance
• Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
• Vacation, Sick Time, and Holidays
