Bioinformatics Job information

What are some common challenges faced by professionals in bioinformatics roles, and how can they be addressed?

Bioinformatics professionals often encounter challenges such as managing large and complex datasets, keeping up with rapidly evolving technologies, and collaborating effectively with interdisciplinary teams. To address these challenges, it's important to develop strong data management and analytical skills, stay updated through continuous learning, and communicate clearly with both biologists and computer scientists. Leveraging version control tools, computational resources, and participating in collaborative projects can also help streamline workflows and enhance productivity.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a bioinformatics professional?

To thrive in a Bioinformatics job, you need a strong background in biology, statistics, and computer science, often supported by a degree in bioinformatics or a related field. Familiarity with programming languages (such as Python, R, or Perl), bioinformatics databases, and tools like BLAST or Next-Generation Sequencing platforms is essential. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and effective communication skills set outstanding professionals apart in this role. These skills are crucial for accurately interpreting complex data, collaborating with interdisciplinary teams, and advancing research outcomes.

What is a bioinformatics job?

Bioinformatics jobs involve the application of computer science, mathematics, and biology to analyze and interpret complex biological data, such as genetic sequences. Professionals in this field develop algorithms, create databases, and use statistical tools to solve problems in genomics, drug discovery, and other life sciences. These roles are typically found in research institutions, biotechnology companies, pharmaceutical firms, and academic settings. The field is growing rapidly due to advances in technology and the increasing importance of big data in biology.

Job description

Position Summary:


Reporting to the Bioinformatics Senior Principal Investigator, the Bioinformatics Scientist will focus on complex experimental and clinical bioinformatics data sets.


Responsibilities:

  • Successfully execute bioinformatics studies in collaboration with other R&D wet-lab scientists, clinical teams and bioinformaticians on multiple defined priority areas.
  • Effectively communicate results in R&D and corporate meetings, prepare abstracts/manuscripts for publications and conferences.
  • Communicate with external stakeholders and vendors to recommend data capture technologies and pre-clinical experimental models best aligned with bioinformatics and wet-lab research objectives.
  • Implement and validate newly identified bioinformatics analytical advances using bioinformatics practices for reproducible and modular analysis (markdown documentation, r/v env locks, git, nextflow, snakemake, dockers, conda).
  • Review and improve existing in-house analysis R/Python workflows for large-scale Omics data using ML/AI integration to achieve efficient end-to-end analysis, scale-up, and predictive models.
  • Apply statistical predictive models (including AI) to wet-lab experiments and processes typically involved in drug discovery/development pipelines working with teams of scientists.
  • Prepare reports, presentations, abstracts, and manuscripts as required, following established standards for documentation, reproducibility of code and data integrity.


Qualifications:


  • A Ph. D or equivalent experience in biology, chemistry or bioinformatics with strong skills in the analysis of -Omics datasets (bulk/single-cell/spatial transcriptomics, WES, epigenomics, metabolomics and/or proteomics) in preclinical and clinical disease models.
  • Experience using Machine Learning/Artificial Intelligence tools in the context of -Omics, single cell Atlases, clinical disease modeling and/or drug development pipelines.
  • Strong skills in bioinformatics, coding proficiency in R/Python, cloud computing environments. Experience with developing user-facing tools for data visualization and reporting (Shiny, Plotly, Quarto, etc) would be desirable.
  • Strong understanding of cell biology especially with respect to basic biochemistry, cell signaling, cell replication, transcription, translation processes.


About Us:


Celcuity is a commercial biotechnology company pursuing development of targeted therapies for treatment of multiple solid tumor indications. The company's first FDA-approved product is REVTORPYK (gedatolisib), a potent, pan-PI3K and mTORC1/2 inhibitor that comprehensively blockades the PAM pathway. REVTORPYK is approved to treat adults with HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer that progressed on prior endocrine therapy in the metastatic setting.

The Phase 3 VIKTORIA-2 trial is evaluating gedatolisib in combination with palbociclib and either fulvestrant or letrozole for the first-line treatment of HR+/HER2- locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer. A Phase 1/2 clinical trial evaluating gedatolisib in combination with darolutamide in patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer, is ongoing.


Celcuity is an Equal-Opportunity Employer.


Celcuity is committed to fair and equitable compensation practices, and we strive to provide employees with total compensation packages that are competitive. For this role, the anticipated base pay range is $110,000 - $120,000 DOE. The exact base pay offered for this role will depend on various factors, including but not limited to the candidate's geography, qualifications, skills, and experience.


The successful candidate will be eligible for an annual performance incentive bonus and a new hire equity package. Celcuity also offers various benefits offerings, including, but not limited to, medical, dental, vision insurance, 401(k) match, PTO, and paid holidays.
