Dren Bio, Inc.
Senior Scientist I/II, Bioinformatics
Dren Bio, Inc., Foster City, California, United States, 94420
Dren Bio (the "Company") is a privately held, clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing therapeutic antibodies for the treatment of cancer, autoimmune and other serious diseases. The Company's management team and scientific advisors have profound expertise covering the discovery and development of specially engineered antibodies. Dren Bio's pipeline encompasses a multitude of programs from its two distinct, wholly-owned technologies. The Company's lead development candidate, DR-01, induces antibody-mediated killing of a specific cell type known to play a key role in various hematologic malignancies and autoimmune disorders. In addition to DR-01, the Company has launched multiple programs from its proprietary Targeted Myeloid Engager and Phagocytosis Platform, a bispecific antibody-based technology that offers a novel mechanism of action focused on selectively engaging myeloid cells (antigen presenting cells) for the targeted depletion of pathologic cells and other disease-causing agents.Function:
Immunology ResearchLevel:
Senior Scientist I/IILocation:
Foster City, CAAbout the Opportunity:
As a key member of the team, you will focus on autoimmunity and cancer, collaborating closely with experimental scientists in the Immunology group. Your primary role will be to design and analyze multi-omic experiments using pre-clinical models and patient samples, with the aim of generating critical insights into the biology and progression of autoimmunity and cancer. These insights will guide the discovery of novel therapeutic targets and biomarkers and address essential questions in both forward and reverse translational research.Role and Responsibilities:
Performs analysis of preclinical and clinical metadata and multi-modal omics data, including but not limited to: scRNA-seq, bulk RNA seq, CITE-seq, flow cytometry, and proteomics.Independently identifies and analyzes disease-relevant external datasets to generate new hypotheses to support internal programs.Independently performs rigorous and reproducible data analysis of complex internal and external genomics datasets (e.g. TCGA), adapting approaches & methodology as needed based on project goals.Generates publication quality figures from multiomics analyses for internal and external publications.Meets production deadlines for data analysis and is able to pivot between multiple projects.Builds out our internal computational platform to allow scalable analysis and integration with automation.Owns the data workflow for some of our lead therapeutic programs by contributing to experimental design, primary analysis, and generating and communicating insights.Education, Experience and Qualification Requirements:
Ph.D. in Computational Biology, Biostatistics, Bioinformatics, or similar with a strong publication record. Alternatively Ph.D. in Immunology, Molecular Biology combined with a record of high-throughput data analysis, supported by publication.Core Competencies, Knowledge and Skill Requirements:
Solid understanding of the relevant concepts in immunology, immuno-oncology, and enthusiasm for learning more.Broad experience with data generated by one or more high-throughput molecular assays: Next-generation sequencing, flow cytometry, etc.Strong experience in the use of a high-level programming language such as Python or R for complex data analysis.Understanding of the statistical principles behind current best practices in high-throughput molecular data analysis.Track record of high-profile scientific publications.Strong quantitative reasoning, statistical analysis, and data visualization skills, with a demonstrated ability to apply them to scientific problems.Excellent written and verbal communication skills as demonstrated by successful collaborations between wet and dry scientific teams.Salaries, Benefits and Other Employee Perks:
