About the role
We are seeking a Research Assistant in Bioinformatics to work on mitochondrial disease research and diagnostics. This is an exciting opportunity to work alongside clinicians on re-evaluation of existing WGS datasets and towards development of innovative pipelines for new datasets from WGS, RNAseq, and Long Read Sequencing.
