Job Type
Computational Life Sciences (Machine Learning Engineer/Data Scientist)

In the pharmaceutical industry, where the time and cost required for new drug development are increasing year by year, advances in AI technologies such as machine learning and deep learning, as well as improvements in computer-based data processing speeds, are expected to play a major role in solving this problem, and are already bringing about decisive changes such as shortening the drug discovery process and significantly improving the probability of development. Our company collects cellular big data based on a unique approach: "Manipulating cells with big data extracted from cells to create new drugs." We are looking for researchers who are motivated by a wide range of research and development, from basic to applied, and who can promote the development of machine learning and data analysis technologies for new drug discovery and the practical application of regenerative medicine. Our company develops cutting-edge experimental and analytical technologies, allowing us to analyze and apply the large-scale, high-precision cellular big data that is obtainable only through our own research and collaborative research. Specifically, we are developing a wide variety of machine learning algorithms, such as the following, through our own research and collaborative research. ・Using semi-supervised learning, you will analyze the cell types and ratios contained in cell samples at the single-cell level to identify cells and genes related to disease mechanisms and drug discovery targets. ・Using causal inference algorithms, you will infer gene regulatory networks to understand the principles of cellular activity and the causes of disease. ・Using Bayesian optimization, you will develop experimental plans to optimize cell culture conditions and manufacturing processes for regenerative medicine products. ・Using segmentation to extract the shapes of individual cells from microscopic images and evaluate cell culture conditions and shape responsiveness to drugs. We are looking for someone who can refine and advance these tasks. In addition to these tasks, we are also looking for someone who can proactively propose new analysis methods using internal and external data and create new value that will lead to the practical application of drug discovery and regenerative medicine. Depending on aptitude, you may be ordered to transfer to tasks specified by the company.
