Data Scientist

At Lab Genius, our mission is to accelerate the discovery of next-generation therapeutic antibodies. To do this, we’ve pioneered the development of EVA™ - a smart robotic platform that’s capable of designing, conducting and, critically, learning from its own experiments.

For our wholly-owned pipeline, we’re using our closed-loop discovery engine to establish a pipeline of highly selective T-cell engagers and ADCs for the treatment of solid tumours.

Lab Genius has raised >£58M and is backed by top-tier investors, including M Ventures, Octopus Ventures, LG Corp, Atomico, Kindred Capital, Lux Capital and Obvious Ventures amongst others.

The company is headquartered in London (UK) where we’ve established a state-of-the-art antibody engineering facility. The company is staffed by a multidisciplinary team of more than 50 scientists and engineers.

As a Data Scientist at Lab Genius, you will provide end-to-end data science support for at least one therapeutic asset as we aim to progress from lead discovery all the way to clinical trials. You will drive the “design” and “learn” cycles of the “design-build-test-learn” that forms the basis of our therapeutic antibody optimisation cycles at Lab Genius, including the proposal of candidates for rapid experimental characterisation.

You will represent data science in highly cross-functional teams, including wet lab scientists (lead optimisation, antibody engineering, assay, and automation), scientific program leads, and software developers. You will onboard rigorous data pipelines, analyses, and visualisations for experiments that allow us to better understand the therapeutic potential of our antibodies. You will enable a data-first ecosystem at Lab Genius through your proficiency at processing complex datasets and extracting key insights.

Our Data Science and Machine Learning team pushes the boundaries of therapeutic antibody optimisation by integrating novel DS/ML tooling with our leading experimental laboratory. We oversee the design and optimisation of both monovalent VHHs and multivalent T-cell engagers, including the analyses of experimental data and subsequent ML modelling. At Lab Genius, these models allow us to design molecules with previously unexplored therapeutic potential.
