  • Computational Biologist Position – GlaxoSmithKline

    Computational Biologist Position Open at GlaxoSmithKline R&D in Philadelphia, PA

    The Computational Biology Department supports Drug Discovery and Development through the integrative analysis of internal and external biomedical data, combining strong computational skills with biological insight. Our analysis competencies are quite diverse, spanning areas such as microbiome/host pathogen analysis, drug repositioning, disease indications, sequence analysis, comparative genomics, pathways and networks, molecular evolution, RNA/protein expression, text mining, structural biology, population/molecular genetics, diagnostics and business opportunities. We contribute to projects at all phases of the pipeline from initial target discovery through clinical phases and launched products. Our work results in real impacts on new medicines for highly important diseases of unmet medical need.

    Job Details
    We currently have one opening within the GSK Computational Biology Department for Computational Biologists.
    As a Computational Biologist you will have a strong technical background in bioinformatics / computational biology / computer science allied with an excellent knowledge of biology. Your primary role will be to identify, invent, develop, implement and/or use computational biology methods to impact drug discovery and development. You will be comfortable with working in a dynamic, fast changing environment, and able to communicate complex informatics principles, methods, analyses and results to scientists from diverse backgrounds. You will be expected to maintain and develop appropriate computational biology skills, as well as, your internal and external scientific profile through presentations and peer-reviewed publications.

    Basic qualifications required:
    • PhD in bioinformatics / computational science / biomedical engineering/ biological sciences or equivalent research experience.
    • Demonstrated knowledge of biological mechanisms and application of computational biology methods to impact drug discovery and development
    • Demonstrated skills to programmatically collect, combine, mine and analyze complex biological data.
    • Demonstrated skills in the analysis of multiple large scale genomic and genetic platforms such as transcriptomics, proteomics and DNA sequencing (including NextGen sequencing).
    • Strong communication skills and ability to work well in a matrix environment
    • Publication record in peer reviewed journals

    Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
    by seqadmin


    Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
