Senior Scientist, Computational Biologist - Cambridge, United States - Harbinger Health
Description
Harbinger Health is pioneering the detection of early cancer and enabling foundationally new approaches to cancer screening, diagnosis, and management.
Incubated within Flagship Pioneering for three years before launching in 2021, Harbinger combines advances in artificial intelligence with proprietary insights into the biology of early cancer cell formation to identify cancer before it is visible or symptomatic with the aim of developing low-cost, multi-cancer blood tests.
At Harbinger, we intend to lead in shaping this future - creating a proactive paradigm so that people can live cancer-free for longer, adding years to life and life to years.
We envision a future where, instead of keeping cancer from spreading, it could be kept from forming, making a cancer diagnosis a routine health problem to be addressed rather than a life-altering event to be feared with profound implications for people, healthcare systems and societies.
Our answer starts with proprietary solutions we are developing with our platform technology.By making cancer screening accessible on a global scale, Harbinger Health has the potential to fundamentally change cancer care, for everyone.
Our lifesaving work is grounded by our principles of rigor and transparency, constructive engagement, inclusiveness, accountability and quality, and a strong commitment to our customers, patients, and each other.
Position Summary
As a Senior Scientist, Computational Biology - Cancer Biology at Harbinger Health, you will work collaboratively across all technical teams bringing expertise within cancer biology and NGS data analysis.
Leveraging your experience with multi-omics data analysis focusing on epigenetic and/or methylation data, you will help further our understanding of cancer and advance our detection capabilities through comprehensive genomic analysis.
Responsibilities
Harbinger Health is committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity or Veteran status.
Recruitment & Staffing Agencies:
Harbinger Health does not accept unsolicited resumes from any source other than candidates.
The submission of unsolicited resumes by recruitment or staffing agencies to Harbinger Health or its employees is strictly prohibited unless contacted directly by Harbinger Health's internal Talent Acquisition team.
Any resume submitted by an agency in the absence of a signed agreement will automatically become the property of Harbinger Health, and Harbinger Health will not owe any referral or other fees with respect thereto.
