Job Description
About Us
We are here to advance human health by reimagining drug discovery with the power and pace of artificial intelligence.
The future is coming. A future enabled and enriched by the incredible power of machine learning. A future in which diseases are curtailed or cured by better and faster drug discovery.
Our values exist in service of that future. We think theyll help us bring it closer too.
Come and be part of an interdisciplinary team driving groundbreaking innovation and play a meaningful role in contributing towards us achieving our ambitious goals while being a part of an inspiring and collaborative culture.
The world we want tomorrow is the one were building today. It starts with the culture at this company. It starts with you.
About Iso
Isomorphic Labs (IsoLabs) was founded in 2021 and is led by Sir Demis Hassabis. Our aim is to usher in a new era of biomedical breakthroughs and find cures for some of humanitys devastating diseases.
Our foundations are built on the success of Google DeepMinds AlphaFold but we didnt stop there! We are continuing to develop and implement stateoftheart technologies as we move towards our goal of dramatically accelerating and improving the process of designing and bringing new medicines to patients.
We have built a worldleading drug design engine comprising foundational AI models that are capable of working across multiple therapeutic areas and drug modalities. The company is continually innovating on model architecture and developing cuttingedge capabilities to advance rational drug design.
Your impact
Were looking for a Data Scientist with an extensive grounding in biological assays for drug discovery who is passionate about the analysis and curation of high quality experimental data to support drug discovery projects.
At IsoLabs you will be a core part of the data team building our large scale high quality data asset to power our next generation of groundbreaking AI/ML technology. Your role will be to partner directly with drug discovery project teams to assure the quality of pharmacological data generated throughout drug design cycles. You will bring domain expertise in biology to codevelop the technical solutions and experimental data analysis workflows we need to accelerate decision making and reimagine drug discovery.
What you will do
- Support drug design cycles such that all biological and pharmacological data necessary to underpin project decision making is efficiently captured and available.
- Apply your expertise in statistical analysis of biological assay readouts to ensure high standards of scientific data quality and representation of data in internal databases.
- Streamline experimental assay data integration by developing data capture analysis and visualisation workflows to proactively solve for bottlenecks in scientific decision making.
- Collaborate with internal and external teams to develop data exchange standards and implement userfriendly ELNs that ensure the integrity of ingested data.
- Contribute to the wider data teams efforts to build a large diverse and high quality data asset that powers IsoLabs next generation of drug discovery ML models.
- Communicate your work and raise awareness of opportunities to improve data quality.
Skills and qualifications
Essential:
- BSc MSc or PhD in a relevant field of biology.
- Good knowledge of invitro biophysical and/or cellular assay techniques including (but not limited to) SPR GCI thermal shift ELISA HTRF FP cellular proliferation/health (nano)BRET high content screening reporter gene assays.
- Extensive experience in the statistical analysis of data from diverse assay types and implementation of such analyses within computational workflows.
- Strong coding skills in python with experience querying and manipulating data using data science toolkits (e.g. pandas) and SQL.
- Familiarity with ontologies data management frameworks and the curation of data to adhere to high standards of scientific quality.
- Familiarity using and configuring an Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN) system and defining data exchange standards with third parties.
- Strong communicator and a proven collaborator with both multidisciplinary biology/chemistry and product/engineering teams.
- Excellent attention to detail to identify and flag anomalous data within large and small data sets
Nice to have:
- Experience configuring thirdparty data analysis and visualisation software (e.g DataWarrior Spotfire Tableau).
- Familiarity using data pipelining tools (e.g. Knime).
- Experience in the pharma/biotech industry working with CROs or internal labs to acquire and interpret high quality biological data in a timely manner.
- Familiarity with data engineering concepts and experience with running jobs on Cloudbased infrastructure.
Culture and values
