BACKGROUND

Presage Biosciences is dedicated to improving the cancer drug development process so that patients can receive the most effective treatment possible. Our proprietary technology platform offers a truly innovative strategy that simultaneously analyzes multiple cancer drug candidates and drug combinations within a single living tumor. This patented technology heralds a new, innovative approach to select optimal drug candidates and efficiently advances cancer therapeutics to the market. We're passionate about creating and exploiting this completely new, unique platform and currently have an opening for a proactive, high energy Bioinformatics Scientist to join our growing team in Seattle, WA.

RESPONSIBILITIES

As a key member of Presage's scientific team, you will have the opportunity to lead the effort in the ongoing build out of the bioinformatics function and play a pivotal role in helping to support our cancer drug development platform. You will initiate, design and manage all bioinformatics efforts aimed at analyzing highly complex histopathology imaging data from side-by-side comparisons of multiple cancer drugs and drug combinations from living tumors. You will also play a pivotal role in making strategic decisions to continue building Presage's bioinformatics capabilities from the early development phase to the production environment, which includes developing and directly managing bioinformatics tools and infrastructure for content management, database searching and integration, systems for analyzing and comparing data within complex databases, and the quality control of production environment data analysis. In addition, you will manage the day-to-day IT function, (partnering with external consultants), provide support for web-based bioinformatics and accessing of public and proprietary relational databases, and act as the bioinformatics project leader with Presage's pharmaceutical partners and other collaborations.
