Senior Quantitative Biomarker Scientist

Regeneron Pharmaceuticals•Tarrytown, GA

5d•$109,900 - $179,300•Hybrid

About The Position

Regeneron is advancing its pipeline portfolio using a data-driven human translational approach. As part of this initiative, the Precision Medicine team is integrated with Discovery Research and Clinical Development teams to promote early adoption of biomarker strategy to guide clinical translation. The team collaborates with Clinical Sciences colleagues to develop the clinical experimental sciences (CES) studies for generating clinically testable, mechanistic hypotheses for each molecule, including developing scientific rationale for initial and new indications for PoC. Precision Medicine leads the biomarker strategy and execution, to achieve proof of mechanism/concept in early clinical trials. The team also implements Precision Medicine strategies, including patient stratification and selection, to support late-stage clinical programs and companion diagnostics. This is a statistical computational role that falls within Precision Medicine Quantitative Translational Sciences (PMQTS), the analytical arm of Precision Medicine. We are looking for a motivated individual who can conduct clinical trial data management and data analysis in an open and collaborative working environment. This role will encompass exploratory analyses and visualization of omics, EHR, wearable sensor, imaging, and other biomarker data. This position is also involved in the development of tools and dashboards for processing, analyzing, querying, visualizing, and cleaning data.

Requirements

PhD, or Masters with minimum 2 years of relevant work experience in one of the following or otherwise related quantitative fields: Computer Science, Computational Biology, Systems Biology, Quantitative Biology, Bioinformatics, Data Analytics, Statistics, Biostatistics, Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry.
Experience with statistical modeling/regression, machine learning, and other relevant data blending abilities.
Experience in at least one of the following scripting languages: R, Python, MATLAB. Other languages such as SQL, Spark, and C++ are a bonus.
Experience working in a Linux and/or cloud, shell scripting, and notebook environment.
Knowledge of structured data, with the ability to perform data mapping for systems integration, data provisioning, and data consumption (strongly preferred).
A working knowledge of clinical trials (strongly preferred.)
