Job Description:
We seek a talented, collaborative inter-disciplinary scientist to lead work on the computational analysis of high-dimensional tissue, cell and molecular profiling data. This individual will play a key scientific role leveraging innovative computational analysis strategies and rich patient data to empower data-driven decisions for therapeutic programs in Celgene’s Immunology & Inflammation (I&I) Thematic Center of Excellence (TCoE). Applications range from providing deep insight into therapeutic mechanisms of action for existing and novel therapies as they transition into clinic, identification and predictive leverage of patient phenotypes associated with therapeutic effect and outcome in key indications, and downstream development of molecular biomarker hypotheses into clinical diagnostics. Analysis scenarios will involve exploratory clinical data and output from transcriptomic, proteomic, genomic, and a wide range of innovative cell-molecular profiling platforms. The position would suit an individual with strong scientific leadership potential and excellent communication and collaboration skills. Applications are encouraged from those involved in innovative translational biomarker research for complex oncology indications in clinical or industrial research environments. The role offers the opportunity to impact directly the delivery of truly transformational and life-changing therapies in key diseases of unmet medical need. Strong interest in the inter-disciplinary application of computational analysis methods to life sciences data is imperative. Areas of particular focus include: elucidation of pleiotropic therapeutic actions via molecular profiling of complex cell culture models; methods to highlight clear mechanistic differentiation between compound mechanisms in key indications; and predictive patient stratification to identify biomarker-defined subgroups of unmet medical need and/or enriched therapeutic response via machine learning analysis of molecular profiling data. Responsibilities: Working in collaboration with computational, biological and clinical scientists across the Celgene Research and Early Development organization, responsibilities include but are not limited to:
