Bioinformatics Analyst I Job ID: req4276 Employee Type: exempt full-time Division: Clinical Research Program Facility: Rockville: 9615 MedCtrDr Location: 9615 Medical Center Drive, Rockville, MD 20850 USA The Frederick National Laboratory is operated by Leidos Biomedical Research, Inc. The lab addresses some of the most urgent and intractable problems in the biomedical sciences in cancer and AIDS, drug development and first-in-human clinical trials, applications of nanotechnology in medicine, and rapid response to emerging threats of infectious diseases. Accountability, Compassion, Collaboration, Dedication, Integrity and Versatility; it's the FNL way. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The Cancer Genomics Research Laboratory (CGR) investigates the contribution of germline and somatic genetic variation to cancer susceptibility and outcomes in support of the NCI's Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics (DCEG), the world’s most comprehensive cancer epidemiology research group. CGR is located at the NCI-Shady Grove campus in Rockville, MD and operated by Leidos Biomedical Research, Inc. We care deeply about discovering the genetic and environmental determinants of cancer, and new approaches to cancer prevention, through our contributions to the molecular, genetic, and epidemiologic research of the 70+ principal investigators (PIs) in DCEG. Working in concert with epidemiologists, biostatisticians and basic research scientists in DCEG’s intramural research program, CGR provides the capacity to conduct genome-wide discovery studies and targeted regional approaches to identify the heritable determinants of various forms of cancer. Within CGR, the Molecular and Digital Pathology Laboratory (MDPL) is dedicated to the support of genetic and epidemiologic studies for DCEG investigators through tissue profiling and image analysis. This includes the design and analysis of high throughput molecular epidemiologic studies using various types of “omics” technologies such as AI-based histomics, proteomics (immunohistochemistry, multiplex immunofluorescence, digital spatial profiling), and somatic genomic analyses. We are seeking a highly motivated bioinformatics analyst to provide dedicated statistical support and AI model development to support large-scale epidemiological research on cancer etiology and progression through integrative analyses of risk factors and image analysis to inform prevention and clinical strategies.
