  • Perform data integration and network / pathway analysis to understand mechanisms of action.
  • Apply AI / ML tools and generative AI models for biomarker discovery, integrating findings with existing knowledge to advance translational medicine goals.
  • Prepare and present technical and scientific reports for both internal and external audiences.
  • Collaborate closely with project teams to influence experimental design, assay development, data generation, and analysis.
  • Participate in due diligence for external opportunities as needed
  • Independently design and execute research projects in collaboration with translational scientists, contributing to multiple projects as a senior scientific consultant or managing early-stage matrix project teams.
  • Technical / Functional (Line) Expertise

  • Strong expertise in computational biology, multi-omics analysis, and machine learning for biomarker discovery.
  • Proficient in developing data strategies and integrating multi-omic and genome-wide datasets.
  • Experienced in large-scale omics, high-throughput data analysis, network analysis, meta-analyses and AI / ML models for translational research.
  • Capable of implementing computational methods and developing algorithms based on project needs.
  • Demonstrate effective communication and project management skills.
