Director Bioinformatics (mfd)

Indivumed is a biotech company focusing on precision oncology. For almost 25 years we have been driven by a single overarching vision : a world in which precision therapy offers a cure for every cancer patient.

Specialized in early drug discovery our R&D approach is based on the belief that we need to fundamentally understand the disease to gain novel insights and develop effective therapeutics. To do so we start with carefully collected and curated patient samples resulting in a comprehensive and proprietary database. By employing advanced biomathematical and bioinformatic methods on this excellent data we discover therapeutically novel targets. From our high-quality tissue we generate patient-derived 2D and 3D cellular models allowing us to perform target validation and therapeutic development in an environment that is as close to the patient as possible.

Drive dedication and our shared purpose make us who we are.

Driven by our pioneering spirit and our shared purpose we explore the complexity of cancer with curiosity and determination. Thriving on innovation we value unique perspectives and visionary scientific approaches to grow together. Whether as a scientist, a data analyst or in a corporate function everyone contributes to our common goal.

If you thrive on discovery come join our team and make your impact! We are looking for a
