Senior Bioinformatician - Protein Engineering
Publicerad 2024-12-27
Immunocore (NASDAQ: IMCR) is a pioneering, commercial-stage T cell receptor biotechnology company whose purpose is to develop and commercialize a new generation of transformative medicines which address unmet patient needs in oncology, infectious diseases and autoimmune disease. Our leaders in R&D are internationally recognised as some of the biotech industry's most successful drug developers. We are creating not just an environment where great minds can interact but an innovation powerhouse answering the big questions.
Focused on delivering first-in-class biological therapies to patients, we have developed a highly innovative soluble TCR platform. Our ImmTAX molecules underpin a new generation of precision engineered drugs that harness the immune system to treat a broad spectrum of diseases with high unmet medical need, including oncology, infectious diseases and autoimmune diseases. We strive to create a diverse and inclusive workplace, while seeking talented individuals to work with us across the many functions that will allow us to deliver new medicines to transform the lives of patients. You will work with outstanding people who together pioneer the research, development and commercialization of bi-specific TCR therapies. We aim to create an environment where individual contributions and initiatives can be maximized, while fostering a culture of collaboration, based on respect and integrity. We want each individual employee to own their career, as part of high-performing teams, and in the context of on-the-job and formal continuous development and training, as well as constructive feedback. We always strive to identify ways to improve what we do and how we do it, by asking questions, voicing opinions, exploring various approaches and staying connected with healthcare professionals, patients, academia and other key partners. We are seeking an experienced bioinformatician to work closely with Research and Bioinformatics/Data Science teams to maximise our extensive and growing biologics discovery datasets to support and accelerate data driven drug design. The ideal candidate will be a driven, curious and collaborative scientist passionate about using data to uncover biological insights and contribute to drug discovery programmes. As a part of the Protein Engineering department, senior bioinformatician will collaborate with automation, data capture, NGS and Machine Learning scientists, as well as other bioinformaticians and software developers. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES * Work in interdisciplinary teams across protein engineering and bioinformatics to develop and integrate data science approaches into TCR and antibody discovery and optimisation.* Analyse, manage and organise datasets generated across a protein engineering campaign, including high-throughput screening and immune repertoire sequencing datasets.
