Senior Bioinformatics Scientist

BostonGene is redefining cancer patient care and drug development through the integration of omnimodal data and artificial intelligence. Built and validated through an extensive real-world clinical testing network, BostonGene’s foundation model for tumor and immune biology integrates genomic, transcriptomic, and immune data with clinical outcomes to generate biologically grounded, actionable insights. These insights enable biopharma partners to design and de-risk trials, identify novel targets, and optimize therapeutic response prediction across all stages of development while simultaneously improving patient care through clinically integrated innovation.

The role focuses on translating multi-omics data into clinically actionable insights to support therapy selection and biomarker discovery for precision oncology.

Job responsibilities

• Biological interpretation and analysis of multi-omics data with a focus on NGS (RNA-seq, WES) data;
• Lead data analysis for collaborations with leading US cancer centers (e.g., MD Anderson Cancer Center, Massachusetts General Hospital, National Cancer Institute);
• Review analytical results and biological interpretations produced by team members to ensure scientific quality and consistency;
• Investigate molecular mechanisms underlying differential response to therapy and identify novel tumor biomarkers using internal BostonGene analytical tools;
• Analysis of tumor biology in patient samples including somatic and germline variants, RNA expression;
• Support interpretation of molecular findings to inform personalized treatment strategies for cancer patients;
• Identification and interpretation of biomarkers relevant for therapy selection;
