At Glyphic Biotechnologies, we plan to create the protein revolution for which scientists and researchers have been waiting. We are developing a massively parallel, single-molecule protein sequencing platform that will transform proteomics and usher in a new era of insights into human biology and disease. To date, we have raised >$20M from venture partners and non-dilutive grant funding to achieve our vision of next generation protein sequencing.
What we are looking for in you
We are seeking an experienced bioinformatics scientist with industry experience to support Glyphic Bio’s development of a next-generation protein sequencing platform. This candidate must have demonstrated success in chemical or biological science research and in data analysis and visualization. The specialist would work cross-functionally with all science teams, report to the Founding Scientist, and play an instrumental role in Glyphic’s product and assay development. We value exceptional communication and organization habits, and candidates with a tendency toward systems thinking. Direct experience with nanopore sequencing methods, next generation sequencing, and proteomics strongly preferred.
Primary Duties and Responsibilities
Establish dedicated analysis and informatics to support company milestones.
Support internal R&D projects and Product Development
Develop, implement and troubleshoot novel analysis tools for nanopore-based raw current data and sequencing data
Support all science teams through the development of systems for streamlined data acquisition and collaborate with colleagues to create specific analysis pipelines that address team needs.
Automate data analysis pipelines, maintain SOPs for multi-team use, and provide troubleshooting support as needed.
Maintain a centralized, shared and organized historical records of experiments conducted, problems solved, and bugs fixed.
Generate professional reports and visuals on performed data analysis, developed tools, and approaches, playing a critical role in the development of internal processes and eventual customer applications.
