    Bioinformatics Scientist

    Bioinformatics Scientist

    The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia is ranked as one of America’s best hospitals for children by U.S. News & World Report and Parents Magazine.

    The Bioinformatics Scientist will provide overall leadership and accountability for the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine Bioinformatics Support Program. This key role will work closely with individual clinical and research laboratories to identify bioinformatics needs. The successful candidate will be able to interface with both the IT and bioinformatics groups at CHOP and UPENN to address software and hardware problems in the laboratories. An immediate goal is the development of a genomic data workflow as the labs move toward integration of next generation sequencing into the clinical diagnostic arena. There will be opportunities for participation in research and possible academic appointment for a suitably motivated individual.

    Job Responsibilities:
    • Advice on the appropriate hardware and software solution for a given research or clinical project. Identify and apply appropriate analytical procedures.
    • Develop and/or implement statistical, informatics and computational methodologies for genetic analysis. NGS data analysis and software development for research and clinical diagnostics. SNP and expression array analysis.
    • Create and manage laboratory databases. Integrate relevant laboratory databases with other institutional datasets and systems. Develop Biobanking informatics and connectivity to other institutional databases.
    • Assure the efficient and effective clinical operations, the proper prioritization of different projects and the availability of required resources.
    • Coordinate with internal groups within CHOP and the Department of Pathology, including IS, clinical and research laboratories and other cores.

    It is anticipated that the scientist will assist in assembling a team to address these needs over time.

    Requirements include a Ph.D. and at least three years of experience. Additional requirements include advanced mathematical and computer skills combined with in-depth knowledge of biological science. Strong programming skills in R and/or SAS, C/C++, Perl, SQL, PHP, Java, and HTML required. Project management experience strongly desired.

    Our organization offers total compensation packages befitting a world class institution. Apply online at http://jobs.chop.edu, referencing Requisition 11-23738.

    The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia is an equal opportunity, affirmative action employer.

    Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
    by SEQadmin2



    Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

    Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
    by SEQadmin2



    Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

    There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...

    Reply to Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
    by GATTACAT
    Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.
