Redwood City, CA
Biohub is leading the new era of AI-powered biology to cure or prevent disease through its 501c3 medical research organization, with the support of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.
The Team Biohub supports the science and technology that will make it possible to help scientists cure, prevent, or manage all diseases by the end of this century. While this may seem like an audacious goal, in the last 100 years, biomedical science has made tremendous strides in understanding biological systems, advancing human health, and treating disease.
Achieving our mission will only be possible if scientists are able to better understand human biology. To that end, we have identified four grand challenges that will unlock the mysteries of the cell and how cells interact within systems — paving the way for new discoveries that will change medicine in the decades that follow:
Building an AI-based virtual cell model to predict and understand cellular behavior Developing state-of-the-art imaging systems to observe living cells in action Instrumenting tissues to better understand inflammation, a key driver of many diseases Engineering and harnessing the immune system for early detection, prevention, and treatment of disease As a Senior Data Scientist, you'll lead the creation of groundbreaking datasets that power our AI/ML efforts within and across our scientific grand challenges. Working at the intersection of data science, biology, and AI, your work will focus on creating large, AI-ready datasets, spanning single-cell sequencing, immune receptor profiling, and mass spectrometry peptidomics data. You will define data needs, format standards, analysis approaches and quality metrics and build pipelines to ingest, transform, and validate data products that form the foundation of our experiments.
Our Data Ecosystem:
These efforts will form a part of, and interoperate with our larger larger data ecosystem. We are generating unprecedented scientific datasets that drive biological innovation:
Billions of standardized cells of single-cell transcriptomic data, with a focus on measuring genetic and environmental perturbations 10s of thousands of donor-matched DNA & RNA samples 10s PBs-scale static and dynamic imaging datasets 100s TBs-scale mass spectrometry datasets Diverse, large multi-modal biological datasets that enable biological bridges across measurement types and facilitate multi-modal model training to define how cells act. When analysis of a dataset is complete, you will help publish it through public resources like CELLxGENE Discover, the CryoET Portal, and the Virtual Cell Platform, used by tens of thousands of scientists monthly to advance understanding of genetic variants, disease risk, drug toxicities, and therapeutic discovery.
You'll collaborate with cross-functional teams to lead dataset definition, ingestion, transformation, and delivery for AI modeling and experimental analysis. Success means delivering high-quality, usable datasets that directly address modeling challenges and accelerate scientific progress. Join us in building the data foundation that will transform our understanding of human biology and move us along the path to curing, preventing, and managing all disease.
