Job Details
Eli Lilly and Company is committed to developing tailored therapeutics to provide improved outcomes for patients. In support of this goal, the genomics and bioinformatics group delivers biologically and clinically testable hypotheses based on systematic analyses of clinical and pre-clinical data. We achieve this through application of integrative approaches to genomics data to improve knowledge around the targets, pathways, and molecular basis and heterogeneity of disease; to help define patient sub-populations and predict how patients are likely to respond to particular treatments.
Are you looking for an opportunity to join a dynamic team of scientists who are dedicated to delivering life-changing therapeutics to patients? Do you have a background in disease genomics and translational research in Oncology or Immunology? You will have the chance to gain a broad overview of our portfolio and help connect the dots from discovery to clinical. If you are passionate about contributing to the exciting research happening in Oncology and Immuno-Oncology, you are encouraged to review and consider this excellent opportunity with the Genomics and Bioinformatics team.
