  • Strong background in immunology, with a preference for expertise in IBD pathogenesis and current therapeutic strategies
  • Proven experience in analyzing complex biological datasets, including multimodal omics and clinical data
  • Proficiency in applying AI/ML approaches, including the use and fine-tuning of foundation models for biological and clinical data interpretation
  • Solid programming skills in Python and/or R, with familiarity in developing and maintaining computational pipelines
  • Hands-on experience with bioinformatics tools such as Seurat, Scanpy, Cell Ranger, Squidpy, or similar platforms
  • Understanding of spatial omics and single-cell analysis methods
  • Knowledge of bioinformatics data standards and best practices for data integration
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams and convey complex computational insights to diverse stakeholders
