We see our diversity as an asset as we tackle challenging problems that bridge the gap between drug discovery and technology.

The Role

The Translational Medicine team applies insights from human disease phenotypes, genetics and ’omics data analysis to impact drug discovery and clinical development programmes at BenevolentAI. The team works with translational methods on patient-level data (e.g. phenotyping, genetics genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics). You will join a cross-functional team at the intersection of biology, data science and drug discovery. You would be responsible for interpreting the output of machine learning analyses of patient-derived data in order to form hypotheses about the causes of disease that can be tested in the lab or the clinic. You will formulate biological questions raised by our drug discovery programmes that can be addressed by machine learning and data science, and work with colleagues to answer them. We have a particular focus on Precision Medicine, deriving and applying more precise definitions of disease, and discovering medicines tailored to patients in those groups. We derive endotype descriptions from multi-modal data and predict biomarkers to describe them and drug targets to treat them.

We share a passion for being part of a mission that matters, and we are always looking for curious and collaborative people who share our values and want to be part of our journey.
