Bioinformatics Scientist/Senior Bioinformatics Scientist

Job description

Description We are seeking a highly motivated Bioinformatics Scientist to join our interdisciplinary R&D team focused on developing innovative analytical tools and assays that assess the off-target safety profiles of CRISPR-based gene editing systems. The successful candidate will bring deep expertise in bioinformatics, genomics, and next-generation sequencing (NGS) analysis, coupled with strong programming and analytical skills. This role centers on the development, optimization, and support of bioinformatics workflows and computational pipelines that drive MaxCyte’s assay development and data interpretation efforts. The Bioinformatics Scientist will collaborate closely with colleagues across R&D, Data Science, Product Development, and Operations to translate complex genomic data into actionable scientific and product insights. - Design, develop, and deploy scalable, validated bioinformatics pipelines for NGS data analysis, ensuring reproducibility and compliance with relevant standards (e.g., GLP). - Perform comprehensive genomic data processing (e.g., read alignment, variant calling), enforce strict quality control standards, and evaluate emerging algorithms and databases to opt...
