Looking for the best and brightest
At TOMA, we are working tirelessly to provide comprehensive analysis of the most clinically meaningful cancer genes even from scare amount of tumors — enabling oncologists to provide the most targeted treatments available. In a recent study conducted by Intermountain Healthcare using TOMA sequencing, progression free survival nearly doubled for patients with advanced cancer.
TOMA is accelerating the genomics revolution in cancer, by providing the world’s most advanced targeted sequencing chemistry to analyze tumors. We are looking for the world’s best and brightest people to join our team.
We work in small, focused teams that are agile and efficient. The work is stimulating, structure is limited, and innovation is rewarded. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, TOMA collaborates with leading clinical researchers, scientists and companies around the world.
TOMA Biosciences is a genomics company that provides physicians information to optimize treatment for cancer patients. We are seeking a self-motivated bioinformatics scientist to develop and support a cloud-based pipelines for the analysis of tumor targeted resequencing data of cancer patients. As a part of our experienced scientific team the successful candidate will have the opportunity to grow, interacting with world-class clinical researchers and making an impact in the quality of life of cancer patients.
You will be implementing analysis workflows for the identification and interpretation of actionable cancer somatic mutations from different types of tumor and normal tissue samples of cancer patients. In addition, you will be involved in data analysis projects involving the results from large cohorts of patients involved in clinical trials. Other responsibilities include: Select, test, and implement bioinformatics pipelines for the analysis, annotation, and interpretation of cancer genomic data; perform analysis of aggregated results from patient cohorts, applying the appropriate multivariate statistical analysis, machine learning, and visualization methods; translate findings into recommendations for improvements and the development of new products; present results of analyzes to internal stakeholders and customers/collaborators; Implement quality control metrics and procedures to prevent and detect errors; insure that all work is properly documented, code is under change control, and provenance of data is maintained; openly communicate results and progress to management team; provide regular progress reports and updates on schedules.
