You believe in the power of data science to create a paradigm shift in the way we understand disease and select the next generation of therapeutic targets and markers.

You will work with disease area experts to prioritise targets within the lists with respect to novelty, tractability, disease genetics, patient-derived and model-derived data.

You will be responsible for the training of DDA staff in how to access and best use publicly available interfaces to extract individual pieces of validation data.
