Computational Biologist - NGS Data Team

The Company

Dyno Therapeutics is reshaping the gene therapy landscape through AI-powered vectors. Through the application of our transformative technologies and strategic partnerships with leaders in gene therapy, we believe a future with life changing gene therapies for millions of people is within reach.

Our team includes world-class molecular and synthetic biologists, protein engineers and gene therapy scientists working alongside software engineers, data scientists, and machine learning experts. Dyno was named Startup of the Year in 2020 by Xconomy, Endpoints 11 in 2021, and named one of America's Best Startups in 2022 by Forbes!

The Role

Computational Biologist - NGS Data Team. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is central to Dyno's high-throughput viral characterization platform, and your work with the NGS Data Team will have a major impact on the future of gene therapy. You will be a translational scientist, combining a deep understanding of biology and data engineering to develop sequencing products in Dyno's data science ecosystem. Specifically, your role will be to develop pipelines to translate raw sequences to meaningful data that can be easily accessed and interpreted by other scientists. In addition to developing methods for processing sequencing data from viral screens, the NGS Data Team collaborates with molecular biologists and engineering teams to design new experiments and approaches to data generation. You will work closely with other teams, including communication of findings, to experimental biologists and machine learning scientists with effective visualization and education to enable decision-making based on the data collected at Dyno.

How You Will Contribute

As a Computational Biologist - NGS Data Team, you will develop methods and build tools to analyze and process next-generation sequencing data, including single cell sequencing data. In this role you will help to develop technology and design experiments to ensure data is interpretable and actionable. This is a highly collaborative position working closely with wet bench scientists and software engineers to enable data based decision making.
