About Us
We are a biotechnology company based in San Francisco. We are using our in vivo drug discovery platform and AI models trained on its data to uncover better drugs for more patients. Our Mosaic platform is the first to make in vivo data generation scalable, with single-cell precision, to capture in vivo context of disease at the first step of drug discovery and to better represent patient diversity in drug response over current in vitro assays. We are using Mosaic to build the world’s largest in vivo atlas of how drugs interact with patient cells and how they alter gene function in diverse biological contexts. We are using the unprecedented scale and sophistication of the data in this atlas to train single-cell foundation models that learn context dependency of gene function and help us find novel targets and drugs that are more likely to work in patients.
Your Role
At Vevo, we generate a huge amount of data on how drugs interact with cells from many different patients, at a single-cell resolution and in an in-vivo context. We are using this massive perturbational atlas to develop the next generation of Foundation Models that accurately capture the biology of disease and enable the development of better therapies. We are seeking an experienced ML Engineer to help us rapidly implement and scale up these models. You will be part of our in silico team, with colleagues who are specialized in bioinformatics, computational biology and machine learning, and also with experimental scientists.
