The rough endoplasmic reticulum synthesizes proteins while the function of the smooth endoplasmic reticula is to synthesize steroids and lipids; regulate calcium concentration, drug metabolism, as well as attachment of receptors on cell membrane proteins; and metabolize steroids (but not lipids) and carbohydrates.
Developing New Polymer-Based Medicines for Undertreated Conditions. Relypsa is a biopharmaceutical company leading the discovery, development and commercialization of polymer-based medicines to treat conditions that are often overlooked and undertreated, but that can have a serious impact on patient lives or even be life-threatening. We are focused on developing medicines that will change treatment paradigms.
I interviewed at Relypsa in May 2016. Interview. The process takes about 3 weeks, and the questions are all about the resume. They did not ask difficult question. The second and final round are interviewed by the group leaders, it takes about 20 mins each round, and they are nice and friendly, not giving me hard time.
