About the team:

We are an interdisciplinary group dedicated to accelerating cancer research. We help design and analyze large-scale experiments, develop new statistical tools and machine learning methods, write papers, produce datasets used by tens of thousands of researchers around the world, and guide research and development for applying new technologies to cancer research.

The success of cancer precision medicine requires determining optimal treatments given the detailed genomic and molecular information encoded in each patient’s tumor. CDS aims at accelerating precision cancer medicine by creating computational software (such as Chronos) and interactive exploratory tools (such as the DepMap portal) to help researchers understand the mechanisms of genetic and chemical vulnerabilities across all human cancers. To achieve this, CDS collaborates with multiple groups and research labs (e.g., DepMap, PRISM, CCLF, Sellers Lab, Getz lab etc) to assemble the most detailed and comprehensive characterization of the genomic and molecular features of preclinical cancer models.

In the Cancer Data Science team, we pride ourselves on the quality and rigor of our science, but just as much on our work culture. We believe in a team with strong connections, a healthy work-life balance, and a high degree of psychological safety. We look for candidates with diverse backgrounds, strengths, and perspectives, who are willing to challenge and be challenged. We are also a highly collaborative team, working closely with cancer biologists, experimentalists, project managers, and clinicians.
