Job Summary
In this role, you develop advanced machine learning models for biomolecular designs, identify new targets, and promote the integration of AI into biomedical research.
Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- You lead the development, evaluation, and application of state-of-the-art machine learning models for biomolecular design, target discovery, biomarker discovery, and patient stratification.
- In this global role, you shape the future of biomedical research and collaborate with an innovative, international team driving digital transformation in research.
- You lead the development, evaluation, and application of biological foundation models, including protein/RNA language models, single-cell and spatial-omics foundation models, as well as multimodal generative architectures.
- You drive the design and implementation of virtual cell and virtual patient models that integrate multi-scale, multimodal biological data to simulate cellular states and enable in-silico patient stratification.
- You identify opportunities to accelerate ongoing drug discovery projects through internal and external AI capabilities.
- You communicate, educate, and engage with a broad set of stakeholders, including biologists, chemists, computational/data scientists, R&D leadership, consortia partners, and the scientific community.
- You keep up to date with the latest advances in biological foundation models, virtual cell/patient modeling, and related fields, publishing and presenting both internally and externally.
- You routinely collaborate with colleagues from R&D and occasionally interact with BD&L, industrial partners, and the academic community.
- You lead initiatives to integrate AI into biomedical research.
- You foster collaboration and knowledge sharing within the team and with external partners.
