About Prima Mente

Prima Mente is a frontier biology AI lab. We generate our own data, build general purpose biological foundation models, and translate discoveries into research and clinical outcomes. Our first goal is to tackle the brain: to deeply understand it, protect it from neurological disease, and enhance it in health. Our team of AI researchers, experimentalists, clinicians, and operators is based in London, San Francisco and Dubai.

Role focus - Multi-omics

Clearly articulate and interrogate meaningful biological hypotheses for marker and target discovery related to neurological diseases.

Key Tasks:

  • Multi-omic bioinformatics pipeline development.
  • Feature engineering and dataset preparation for downstream machine learning as well as foundational AI training and application.
  • Analysis of in-house wet lab experiments with the purpose to generate proprietary methods and data for our models.

Expected Growth

In 1 month you will be responsible for your own analysis and experiments on our cloud compute environment, involving creating an ad hoc nextflow or flyte workflow to massively process your data.

In 3 months you directly own and have created an optimised analysis or data processing pipeline and generated results fit for patent and publication.

In 6 months you have integrated your research into our AI models.

Who You Are

You want to redefine what’s possible at the frontier of AI and biology. You have experience uncovering novel biology from multi-omic multi-modal data as, on your way to top tier publications.

We don’t expect you to check every box. Strong applicants often have depth in some of these and interest in growing into others.

Ideal Experience

  • Experience generating insights from biological data (genomics, epigenetics, transcriptomics, proteomics, ATAC-Seq).
  • Operational software engineering skills: the ability to write high-quality code to be the backbone of our software stack.
  • Familiar with data wrangling, engineering, analysis, and visualisation libraries using Python or Julia, Spark, Hadoop, NoSQL.
  • Experience with end-to-end tools used to process multi-omic data from raw data all the way to analytical outputs, including but not limited to NextFlow, Seqera.
  • Application of artificial intelligence approaches and experience applying them to a biological context.

Location

Based onsite in San Francisco, US or London, UK. We support O1 (US) and GTV (UK) visa applications.
