Who You Are

The Computational Genetics team at BridgeBio plays a central role in establishing new drug development programs and supporting ongoing programs. The team is searching for a human geneticist to identify and validate therapeutic targets, understand the unmet need for various diseases, and, more generally, take a data-centric approach to drive drug development. You will apply your statistical/human genetics foundation to understand human genetic and clinical data from large biobanks and other databases in this role. Your strong biological intuition will guide you toward the right questions to ask and an appropriate analysis plan and help you communicate the results in a relevant and actionable way. To develop high-quality answers, you will be encouraged to be fearless and follow your nose to areas outside your immediate expertise. You will collaborate with a talented team of drug developers, including computational biologists, data engineers, clinicians, and bench scientists. Your insights will be shared with key external stakeholders and senior leadership and will ultimately guide the drug development efforts at BridgeBio. Finally, you will communicate relevant and novel findings to the broader scientific community through publication in scientific journals and presentations at external conferences.

Responsibilities

• Apply biological and human genetics knowledge and intuition to identify essential and addressable questions/hypotheses to inform drug discovery and development
• Design and implement analyses to produce interpretable, actionable results
• Discuss project motivation, plan, and impacts with teammates, key external stakeholders, and senior leadership
• Lead individual projects and collaborate with a diverse and talented team of drug developers
• Stay at the leading edge of the field of human genetics, including new statistical methods, datasets, etc., and be able to discuss these new developments with both experts and non-experts
• Attend and present at internal and external meetings; publish work in scientific journals

No matter your role at BridgeBio, successful team members are:

• Patient Champions, who put patients first and uphold strict ethical standards
• Entrepreneurial Operators, who drive toward practical solutions and have an ownership mindset
