Can a foreigner apply for these roles?

Lonza (12), Adaptyv Bio (5), Roche (4), Rivia (2), SOPHiA GENETICS (1).

Which employers count as biotech companies?

Companies whose main business is biotechnology, drug discovery and development, cell and gene therapy, genomics, contract research and manufacturing (CRO, CDMO) or life science tools - and every role whose title names biotech work at any employer. Their sales, finance and office roles are left out: these pages list the science, engineering, data and IT roles.

How fresh is this?

Every role is re-checked on the employer's own careers board at least every 48 hours, and the page is rebuilt every night.
