Occupation
Computational Life Science Field (Machine Learning Engineer/Data Scientist)

In the pharmaceutical industry, where the time and cost of developing new drugs is increasing year by year, advances in AI technologies such as machine learning and deep learning, as well as improvements in data processing speed by computers, are expected to play a major role in solving these issues. In fact, decisive changes are being brought about, such as shortening the drug discovery process and significantly improving the probability of development. At our company, we are acquiring cell big data with a unique approach of ``manipulating cells with big data extracted from cells and leading to the creation of new drugs.'' We are looking for researchers who are motivated by a wide range of research and development, from basics to applications, and who can promote the development of machine learning and data analysis technologies for the creation of new drugs and the practical application of regenerative medicine. We are able to analyze and apply large-scale, high-precision cellular big data, which is only possible because we are a company that develops cutting-edge experiment and analysis technology. Specifically, through in-house research and joint research, we are developing a wide variety of machine learning algorithms, including the following. ・Use (semi-)supervised learning to analyze the types and proportions of cells contained in cell samples at the single-cell level, and identify cells and genes related to disease mechanisms and drug targets. ・Use causal inference algorithms to estimate gene regulatory networks and understand the principles of cell activity and disease development factors. ・Use Bayesian optimization to create experimental plans to optimize cell culture conditions and manufacturing processes for regenerative medicine products. ・Use segmentation to extract the shape of individual cells from microscopic images and evaluate cell culture conditions and shape responsiveness to drugs. We are looking for people who can improve and advance these tasks. In addition to these duties, we are also looking for individuals who can proactively propose new analysis methods using internal and external data, and who can create new value that will lead to the practical application of drug discovery and regenerative medicine. . Depending on suitability, etc., we may order you to transfer to work specified by the company.
