Precision medicine for pets with cancer
ImpriMed is integrating tools from oncology, hardware, software and database development to deliver a personalized drug therapy for pet cancer patients. We aim to support veterinarians treating cancer patients with precision medicine technology, based on drug-cell interaction data of each individual patient’s live tumor cells with ImpriMed’s high-throughput drug sensitivity assay. The final drug combination to be injected is chosen based on a data-driven prediction of successful response in the patient. Constructed from pet cancer patient data, the ImpriMed database will be a valuable evidence resource for translating applications into human oncology. This resource will support the fight against human cancer. Using sophisticated data integration and analytics methods is fundamental for us to provide accurate prediction within clinical decision-making.
We are seeking a highly motivated and qualified Data Scientist to join our team for this key position. The ideal candidate has a strong desire to work with a new, large dataset generated from pet (and human) cancer biopsy samples, consisting of both genetic and phenotypic information. This role is full-time and will be based in our headquarters, Palo Alto, California.
