Key responsibilities

  • Collaborate with R&D wet-lab scientists, clinical teams, and bioinformaticians to execute bioinformatics studies on complex experimental and clinical data sets.

  • Communicate results through meetings, prepare abstracts and manuscripts for publications and conferences, and interact with external stakeholders and vendors regarding data capture technologies and experimental models.

  • Implement, validate, and improve bioinformatics analytical workflows, including reviewing existing R/Python workflows and applying statistical and AI models to support drug discovery and development processes.


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.
