Job Description
Sr Bioinformatics Scientist
Illumina
What if the work you did every day could impact the lives of people you know? Or all of humanity? At Illumina, we are expanding access to genomic technology to realize health equity for billions of people around the world. Our efforts enable life-changing discoveries that are transforming human health through the early detection and diagnosis of diseases and new treatment options for patients. Working at Illumina means being part of something bigger than yourself. Every person, in every role, has the opportunity to make a difference. Surrounded by extraordinary people, inspiring leaders, and world changing projects, you will do more and become more than you ever thought possible. Why Us We are a multi-disciplinary and multinational team focused in using next-generation sequencing technology to transform human health and save patient’s lives. Our team works at the interface of research and clinical practice developing and improving innovative algorithms to call variants and biomarkers that fill gaps in clinical practice, focusing primarily on oncology. We collaborate deeply with internal and external teams, to augment DRAGEN, Illumina’s software platform to analyze high-throughput sequencing data, and remove barriers for its use in clinical settings.
