Job description

Seeking experienced, rigorous, and innovative leader to head Regenerons Molecular Profiling Computational Data Sciences research team, consisting of approximately 35 dynamic researchers supporting all therapeutic areas, core technology groups and clinical development units at Regeneron in the design, generation and interpretation of high dimensional data sets from key platform technologies such as single cell RNA sequencing, bulk RNA sequencing, TCR/BCR sequencing and spatial transcriptomics.

The position plays a key role in furthering Regenerons ability to advance our understanding of novel targets and biological pathways from discovery to clinical development.

Successful candidate would direct and inspire the Data Sciences team by using their deep and broad expertise in the computational biological sciences to set strategic vision, suggest novel technological approaches, and critically evaluate data and projects.

Candidate would be expected to participate in translational activities, progressing drug targets along the pipeline from early research through clinical development. Candidate would also participate in Regenerons broader scientific community, participating actively in cross-functional meetings and representing Regenerons Molecular Profiling Computational Data sciences vision to Senior Leadership and external collaborators.

As a Vice President at Regeneron a typical day might look like:

• Directly supervise Regenerons senior Molecular profiling Data science team and manage the broader group, providing vision, inspiration, and both short-term and long-term goals. Communicate priorities, policies, and goals of Regeneron Senior Leadership to the group.
• Identify new strategies, computational tools or technologies, including genetic medicines and gene therapies, for pursuing novel targets and approaches.
• Set priorities and ensure progression of, or go/no-go decisions for, research targets and projects within the Data Sciences Group. Be familiar with processes and procedures for moving targets from preclinical research through the development pipeline.
• Actively participate in departmental, cross-functional, senior leadership, and external meetings to contribute genomic expertise and to represent the goals and vision of the Data Sciences group.
• Work collaboratively with the Research IT group to develop and populate interfaces to allow non-bioinformatician scientists to easily and intuitively query large public and proprietary RNAseq and other omits datasets to enable target discovery and the development of targeted therapies.
• Interact broadly and collaboratively with other therapeutic focus areas and technology groups within the company, forging relationships and active collaborations, as well as leveraging technologies to advancing our research portfolio.
• Lead and mentor the Molecular Profiling Data Sciences Group, providing opportunities, visibility, and challenge in order to develop all group members to their maximum scientific and professional potential.
