Contract Cancer Bioinformatics information

What is a contract cancer bioinformatics specialist?

Contract Cancer Bioinformaticians are professionals who specialize in analyzing biological data related to cancer, typically working on a contractual or project basis rather than as permanent staff. They use computational tools and statistical techniques to interpret large datasets, such as genomic or proteomic data, to support cancer research and clinical decision-making. These specialists collaborate with biologists, clinicians, and other researchers to uncover insights into cancer development, progression, and treatment. Their roles may involve developing pipelines, conducting data analysis, and helping design experiments to advance cancer understanding and therapies.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a contract cancer bioinformatics specialist?

To excel as a Contract Cancer Bioinformatics Specialist, you need a strong background in bioinformatics, molecular biology, statistics, and experience analyzing large-scale genomic data, often supported by an advanced degree in a relevant field. Proficiency in programming languages like Python or R, familiarity with next-generation sequencing (NGS) analysis tools, and experience using databases such as TCGA or cBioPortal are typically required. Exceptional problem-solving, attention to detail, and effective communication skills are crucial for collaborating with multidisciplinary research teams and translating complex data into actionable insights. These competencies are vital for driving impactful cancer research and ensuring accurate, reproducible data analysis in a fast-paced, project-based environment.

What are some common challenges faced by contract cancer bioinformatics specialists, and how can they prepare for them?

Contract cancer bioinformaticians often encounter challenges such as rapidly adapting to new datasets, integrating with diverse research teams, and managing tight project timelines. Since contracts may vary in scope and duration, it's important to quickly understand project objectives and existing workflows. Building strong communication skills and staying current with the latest bioinformatics tools and cancer research trends can help you excel in this role. Establishing clear expectations with clients and maintaining organized documentation also contribute to successful contract engagements.

Job description

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.
