AI Biologics - Human Physiology
Latch builds rigorous scientific benchmarks (benchmarks.bio http://benchmarks.bio) for AI agents across biology. We work with frontier labs and pharma to measure whether agents can handle real biological workflows: the messy, multi-layer reasoning that matters in the field.
We're seeking an AI Biologist with deep expertise in human physiology to join our team, working at the frontier of what artificial intelligence can achieve in biology.
About the Role
You will help develop rigorous scientific evaluations that test AI agents' ability to solve complex problems in human biology and disease.
We are looking for an exceptional scientist who understands how human physiological systems function, interact, and respond to perturbations. You will apply your scientific expertise to identify meaningful research problems, work with real experimental and clinical data, and establish defensible ground truth against which AI agents can be evaluated.
This is a science-first role. We value deep biological understanding, scientific creativity, and critical thinking over advanced programming expertise.
What You'll Do
- Design scientific evaluations: Develop challenging, biologically meaningful research problems that test AI agents' scientific reasoning and problem-solving abilities.
- Work with real biological data: Identify, evaluate, and analyze datasets from published research, clinical studies, and physiological experiments to establish reliable ground truth.
- Apply scientific judgment: Critically assess experimental designs, biological me
