Opportunity
Everyone should have access to innovative therapies that represent the promise of lasting cures. At Theolytics we are working to transform patients’ lives, through world leading science, with a great team. Our discovery platforms harness the power of viruses to systematically identify therapies optimised for a chosen patient population, with a focus on oncology (www.theolytics.com).
We are looking for a Bioinformatician to join our multidisciplinary and dynamic team. The successful applicant will be supporting the identification and development of therapeutics at the interface of cancer and virology. The role will include analysing viral diversity; exploring viral evolution and functional genomics; and collaborating across projects to deliver strategic research and development goals.
This position represents an excellent opportunity for someone looking to be a key enabler for the development of an early stage product through to clinical application. We are looking for a self-starter with excellent communication skills, who can interact with a diverse group of scientific disciplines and is happy to jump in when required in what will be an exciting work environment.
