Oxford Genome Sciences (OGeS) is focused on developing new personalised medicines for the treatment of cancer based on capitalising on its Oxford Genome Anatomy Project (OGAP), the world's largest proprietary protein database with relevance to clinical medicine. OGAP is a unique integrated platform that combines genomic, proteomic and clinical information to discovery and validate of drug targets and biomarkers in man. We are in the process of expanding our team and are looking for individuals with the experience and enthusiasm to leverage our existing strategic alliances with Medarex and Biosite and to advance the company's growing oncology antibody portfolio.

Background:

Qualifications and Skills Required:

The NCRI (National Cancer Research Institute) has an initiative whose mission is to maximise the impact of cancer research in the UK through the use of informatics. To achieve this we also need to work closely with international organisations with similar aims. You can read more about our work at www.cancerinformatics.org.uk

The Bioinformatics and BioStatistics Service as part of CR-UK's Research Services directorate, provides support to CR-UK funded scientists by analysing data generated from high-throughput technologies such as microarrays. Additionally the group provides support in the areas of biostatistics, and genomics.

We are currently looking for a person to join this group as a Bioinformatics Officer to provide support for microarray analysis and functional annotation of results. The principal responsibility will be to assist in the expert analysis of microarray data and other high-throughput genomic data, within an informed biological context.
