Computational Biologist (Bioinformatics)

Known for its scientific and operational excellence, Regeneron is a leading science-based biopharmaceutical company that discovers, invents, develops, manufactures, and commercializes medicines for the treatment of serious medical conditions. Regeneron commercializes medicines for eye diseases, high LDL-cholesterol, atopic dermatitis and a rare inflammatory condition and has product candidates in development in other areas of high unmet medical need, including rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, pain, cancer and infectious diseases.

Summary:
We are seeking an innovative and collaborative computational biologist to help drive new initiatives in immuno-oncology related research and technology development at Regeneron. The scientist will work on implementing/developing state-of-the-art analysis, mining, and visualization techniques to deep dive into genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics data from pre-clinical experiments and clinical trials. The scientist will play an important role in the decision making processes involved in the drug discovery efforts at Regeneron and will support Regeneron’s external collaborations.

Job Duties:

• The successful candidate will work with an innovation-focused and fast-paced collaborative team of scientists to answer complex biological questions in a data-driven manner. Primary responsibilities will be to:
• Analyse in-house genomics/transcriptomics/proteomics data from patient-derived T-cells and tumor cells, and develop interactive data visualizations.
• Develop machine learning prediction models leveraging in-house and public datasets.
• Generate hypothesis from multi-omics data and help guide experimental design to test the hypothesis.
• Discover and prioritize therapeutic targets through integrated analysis of in-house and public datasets.
• Implement high-throughput data analysis pipelines in a high-performance computing setup.
• Identify novel research problems and implement/develop tools to come up with clever and robust solutions.
• Communicate data to collaborators and senior management.

Requirements:

• Strong work ethic, passion for drug discovery, and team spirit are must.
• A PhD with research experience in computational biology, bioinformatics, data science, biomedical informatics, or computer science. Postdoctoral experience is a plus, but not required.
• Proven track record of executing independent and collaborative computational projects involving biological data analysis and visualization.
• Experience in analyzing single-cell and bulk-cell data.
• Experience in building and applying machine learning models.
• Basic knowledge of Immunology and Cancer Biology.
• Proficiency in R and Python.
• Familiarity with public biological databases.
