- BostonGene
- Waltham, Massachusetts
- Full Time
Job summary
We are seeking a highly motivated Senior Bioinformatics Scientist with expertise in imaging and multi-omics data analysis to contribute to AI/ML model development, validation, and deployment. You will join a multidisciplinary team of scientists and engineers working at the intersection of biology, computation, and clinical research.
Responsibilities
AI/ML Development: Design, train, and validate machine learning models for analyzing digital pathology (whole-slide images), genomics, and multi-modal data to predict biomarkers, therapeutic response, and clinical outcomes.
Data Integration: Build and optimize pipelines that integrate DNA/RNA sequencing, histopathology, imaging, immune profiling, and clinical metadata into unified AI-ready datasets.
Model Validation and Deployment: Perform analytical and clinical validation of AI/ML algorithms and integrate them into research and production workflows.
Data Curation and Annotation: Manage and preprocess large-scale datasets, including image annotation and omics data harmonization, ensuring data quality and usability.
Collaboration: Work closely with pathologists, computational scientists, biologists, and software engineers to design translational solutions that address real-world clinical challenges.
Biomarker Discovery: Support identification of biomarkers from histopathology, spatial omics, and transcriptomic data to enable patient stratification and companion diagnostics.
Research and Innovation: Stay current with the latest advancements in AI, digital pathology, spatial biology, and foundational models to contribute to innovation pipelines and publications.
