Scientist- Bioinformatics, Biotherapeutics and Genetic Medicine

Bioinformatics Scientist

Biotherapeutics and Genetic Medicine (BGM), a part of Discovery Research within Abb Vie's R&D, is a global organization dedicated to the discovery and optimization of innovative drug candidate molecules for biotherapeutic modalities (monoclonal antibodies, multispecifics, proteins, conjugates, etc.) and genetic medicines (AAV, LNPs, siRNA, etc.) across all therapeutic areas.

We are seeking a driven and innovative scientist with expertise in bioinformatics to develop and optimize data capture workflows and visualization dashboards for biologics discovery.

Responsibilities:

• Collaboratively design digital workflows or tools to streamline biologics discovery and evaluate improvements in operational efficiency
• Test software solutions and identify opportunities for iterative improvements
• Proactively identify scientist needs that further our digital transformation strategy and propose solutions to meet them
• Pilot new software and AI tools to evaluate utility for BGM
• Implement standard analyses and visualizations that balance customization and increased efficiency
• Represent BGM to Informatics and external software vendor providers as a technical expert.
• Collaborate across groups with different priorities
• Understand and communicate nuance of wet-lab workflows to enable integrated, harmonized data capture.
• Proactively communicate roadblocks and identify potential paths forward
• Communicate impact, including workflow efficiency gains at internal and external forums

Qualifications:

• BS or MS degree in a related scientific discipline or bioinformatics, with typically 5-7+ (BS) or 2-5+ (MS) years of experience.
• Strong foundational knowledge of molecular biology and binding and functional assays.
• Hands-on experience with commonly used bioinformatics tools and platforms (e.g., Prism, Geneious, Genedata Screener, Dotmatics, Benchling)
• Proficiency in Python and at least one other programming language (e.g., SQL, Java, or R)
• Demonstrated expertise in data engineering, e.g. retrieving, shaping, preprocessing, and managing large datasets from databases
• Proven ability to develop interactive data visualizations and dashboards (experience with Power BI, Tableau, D3.js, or Spotfire preferred)
• Experience with collection and processing of assay data, preferably using automated liquid handlers.

Position will be filled at level commensurate with extent of education, experience, and accomplishment - Scientist I or Scientist II
