An exciting hybrid working opportunity has arisen for an experienced Bioinformatician to join a high-impact team supporting clinical-stage assets.
Working at the interface of biology and data, you’ll play a key role in unlocking insights from complex patient-level omics datasets to better understand disease biology, treatment effects and safety signals. This is a collaborative environment where your work will directly inform critical scientific and clinical decisions.
In this role you will:
- Analyse and interpret large-scale omics datasets (with a strong focus on bulk and single-cell RNAseq)
- Develop and refine bioinformatics pipelines and analytical approaches
- Generate meaningful biological insights to support clinical programmes
- Work with cross-functional stakeholders to communicate findings clearly and effectively
- Ensure robust documentation, reproducibility and best practice coding standards
- Contribute to scientific reports, presentations and publications
