Job Description
Our Company has a rapidly growing interdisciplinary team of scientists in London and exciting plans to establish 'Skylab', a new laboratory space at the Francis Crick Institute. This will complement the construction of a new state–of–the–art Research and Discovery Centre in London's 'Knowledge Quarter' opposite King's Cross Railway station. Our new site will employ circa 800 people across our research and commercial divisions.
To deliver on our mission of turning breakthrough science into meaningful and impactful medicines, we plan to establish a new Translational Biomarker Group within Global Neuroscience Discovery. This team of laboratory and data scientists will drive scientific innovation in biomarker research to translate drug discovery programmes into the clinic for neurodegenerative disease, pain, and psychiatric disorders. Working collaboratively with discovery and clinical scientists, our biomarker experts will apply cutting edge lab technologies and Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning tools to discover biomarkers that help determine the optimal dose and biological effects of our drugs and identify patients who are most likely to respond to treatment. This will allow our company to make progress in the battle against some of the most challenging diseases of the nervous system.
We are seeking a highly motivated Associate Principal Scientist (Associate Director level), Bioinformatics, Translational Biomarkers, Discovery Neuroscience to be based in Kings Cross, London.
