Responsibilities

Technical QC Analysis: Evaluate and automate the extraction of high-dimensional quality metrics (e.g., library complexity, UMI consensus efficiency, and fragment size distribution) to distinguish between technical noise and true biological signal
Pipeline Optimization: Utilize Python, R, and Bash to refine genomics workflows, ensuring standard outputs (BAM, VCF, and count matrices) are optimized for sensitivity, specifically in low-input ctDNA and FFPE samples
Feature Extraction: Develop scripts to structure and tabulate molecular features for use in predictive models of therapy response
Network & Pathway Analysis: Integrate DNA and RNA sequencing data to map the functional consequences of oncogenic mutations. Apply systems biology approaches to correlate mutational status with transcriptomic pathway perturbations and protein-interaction networks
Spatial Transcriptomics: Support the processing and quality assessment of 10x Visium HD data to characterize the spatial architecture of tumor-immune interactions
Immuno-Genomics: Contribute to the characterization of the immune landscape within clinical cohorts, utilizing gene expression signatures to evaluate immune cell infiltration and activation
Workflow Development: Maintain high-standard, version-controlled code (Git) within a Unix/Linux environment to ensure all data engineering steps are transparent and reproducible
Reporting: Synthesize complex technical metrics into concise data summaries for cross-functional teams of computational and translational scientists
