AI Biologist - Rare Disease
As molecular data generation and frontier model intelligence grows, new approaches to data analysis are needed across the biotech industry.
We're seeking an AI Biologist to join our Rare Disease team to explore the frontier of what AI assistance can enable in rare disease biology.
About the Role
You will contribute to Latch’s benchmarks, strategy, and research on agents that can navigate, diagnose, and aid research toward rare disease. We are especially interested in teaching agents to translate molecular and clinical evidence into decisions with utility for patients, advocacy groups, clinicians, drug developers, and scientists. Some of what you may do on the day to day:
- Structure, curate, and find insights from extensive genomic, phenotypic, pedigree, transcriptomic, and longitudinal clinical data
- Navigate data partnerships
- Evaluate realistic patient case scenarios spanning the diagnostic journey
- Partner with software engineers to define and execute new data workflows and benchmarks
Requirements
- Master's, PhD, or equivalent experience in a relevant biological or quantitative field
- 3+ years hands-on experience in basic or translational research, clinical genomics, rare disease diagnostics, or rare disease therapeutics, ideally as demonstrated through publications or industry work
- Deep expertise with therapeutics discovery, biological mechanism, or clinical practice in a subset of rare diseases
- Experience interpreting data in biological context and identifying confounders, technical artifacts, and limitati
