Our approach to R&D

We are seeking a Clinical Scientist with a background as a physician-scientist in oncology to join our multidisciplinary Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AIML) team. This position offers a rare opportunity to shape the future of medical research by directly integrating clinical expertise with pioneering AIML advancements, setting our team apart as leaders in translational medicine.

The role is uniquely positioned to bridge clinical practice, advanced AIML research, and the Respiratory, Immunology and Inflammation Research Unit (RIIRU), with a particular emphasis on leveraging large language models (LLMs) and other emerging AIML methodologies. The successful candidate will be a training fellow, upskilling in AIML while providing essential clinical expertise to drive innovation in drug discovery and development.

You will benefit from dedicated mentorship and hands-on training in advanced AIML techniques, fostering rapid professional growth at the intersection of clinical science and artificial intelligence.

In this role you will
Clinical and Research Integration
Translational Research Liaison: Act as the primary conduit for introducing new AIML methodologies to RIIRU.
Collaborate with the World Models of Medicine team to identify AIML opportunities.
Partner with translational science, target discovery and biomarker discovery groups to advance AIML applications.
Clinical Development Alignment: Collaborate with RIIRU Clinical Development Leads to align objectives with strategic clinical development plans, ensuring translational research efforts remain relevant and impactful.
Research Clinic Engagement: Dedicate one day per week to attend a research clinic, such as an internal medicine clinic, at a partner translational research network hospital. Contribute to GSK-sponsored studies, providing real-world clinical context to our research.

AIML and Innovation
Novel Use Case Identification: Proactively identify innovative, high-impact AIML applications in oncology, especially through LLMs, multimodal data analysis, and emerging technologies, using your understanding of clinical workflows and unmet needs.
Product Scoping: Lead the scoping of new AIML products and projects. Define problem statements, outline clinical and scientific requirements, and collaborate with data scientists and engineers to evaluate feasibility and potential impact.
