Location:
Durham, North Carolina (Hybrid)
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
- No two projects look the same, but a typical week might see you framing the right scientific question for a complex genomic analysis, then structuring the work so your team can run with it. You make the decisive calls when a problem is ambiguous or novel, and you roll up your sleeves on the toughest analyses yourself rather than watching from the sidelines.
