Bioinformatician - Cambridge, United Kingdom - Origin Sciences
Description
Origin Sciences is a start-up biotechnology company based in Granta Park, just south of Cambridge. We develop our own innovative medical devices, which we use in clinical trials to collect a biobank of mucus-based biospecimens. This biobank provides clinical material for our research and development streams to assist with diagnostic development.
Our primary disease area is Colorectal Cancer (CRC). We are creating a minimally invasive and accurate CRC diagnostic, which will allow the NHS to focus resources on patients with more serious pathologies. Our motivations are to reduce NHS waiting times, enable earlier CRC detection and reduce unnecessary investigations performed on healthy patients.
Our CRC diagnostic is analogous to blood-based liquid biopsies. However, we have the advantage of evaluating material that was collected closer to the pathology of interest.
The role:
We are seeking a Bioinformatician to join our Data Team and assist with end-to-end analysis of multi-omics data. The Bioinformatician will play a pivotal role in assessing the utility of rectal mucus for CRC detection using different technologies.
They will be involved in the development and validation of bioinformatics pipelines to integrate with our current suite of bioinformatics pipelines, written in Nextflow. From here, they will perform technical analysis to assess data quality and inform wet lab optimisations. They will also get the opportunity to analyse mutational and epigenetic signatures for biomarker identification.
