The Mission: Why We Exist
Genomics is a science-led transatlantic TechBio combining large-scale genetic and health data with proprietary analytics to accelerate drug discovery and advance predictive, preventative healthcare. We are united by a single vision to help people live longer healthier lives, using the power of genomics.
Genomics aims to help people live longer, healthier lives in two ways: super-charging drug discovery and development for novel treatments with our AI-enabled advanced genetic analytics platform, and by helping people understand their personal risk of common chronic diseases through polygenic risk scores - giving doctors and health systems the chance to get the right people into the right prevention, screening and treatment programmes at the right time.
A Day in the Life
- Scan the competitive and scientific landscape – new data modalities, cohorts and therapeutic-area coverage – and translate what you find into a prioritised roadmap for our Data and Research Engineering teams.
- Own our data sourcing and partnerships framework across tiers, negotiating access and commercial terms with biobanks, health data networks and TechBios.
- Build the business case for new data investments and secure buy-in from senior stakeholders across tech, legal, business development and commercial teams.
- Build and maintain relationships with strategic external partners and the wider scientific community – including leading cross-institutional workshops or consortia.
- Work with engineering leadership to operationalise new data sources into the platform, making them actionable for our consulting teams and their Life Science partners.
