Data science jobs in Biotechnology Research industry

Data Science in Biotechnology Research

Biotech companies apply data science and AI across the drug discovery pipeline: protein structure prediction, genomics, single-cell RNA sequencing, and clinical biomarker identification.

Common roles

Bioinformaticians, computational biologists, genomics data scientists, and structural biology ML researchers are in high demand. AlphaFold-influenced protein modelling roles are an emerging area.

Key skills

Python, R, PyTorch for biological models, Nextflow or Snakemake for bioinformatics pipelines, experience with genomic data formats (VCF, BAM, FASTQ), and statistical genetics are valued competencies.
