Following a recent Series B, they're using that data to train genomic and protein foundation models capable of designing entirely novel biological systems. The dataset they're training on doesn't exist anywhere else, which means the modelling opportunities here are unlike anything available in academia or at other companies working off public data.
You'll sit at the centre of their foundation model efforts, shaping the data strategy behind their genomic and protein models. You'll be deciding what data the models need, curating and evaluating training datasets, fine-tuning models for real biological applications, and working directly with ML engineers and biologists to translate biological questions into model objectives.
- Hands-on experience with Transformer-based or foundation model architectures in a biological context (e.g. Understanding of regulatory genomics, non-coding variant prediction, or gene regulation at a level where you can make modelling decisions informed by the biology).
- Experience curating or evaluating training data for large-scale biological models.
- Strong biology alone is not sufficient, and general ML experience without biological applications won't translate.
- Experience with protein language models (ProGen, ESMFold, or similar).
