Job Description:

We are looking for an extremely talented Scientist to join our Immunology Therapeutic Area Genetics (TAG) team. Within the RGC, the Immunology TAG team is using large-scale human exome sequencing for discovery and validation of new therapeutic targets in autoimmune and other immune-mediated disease. You will be responsible for designing and executing studies integrating large scale human genetics and multidimensional omics datasets derived from RGC and public resources in the immunology space to identify new targets for inflammatory and auto-immune diseases and accelerate target transition to novel therapeutics. You will collaborate with various RGC teams and with pre-clinical and clinical development teams at Regeneron to catalyze therapeutic development for genetically-validated targets in immunologic diseases. This role will require 4 days per week onsite at our campus in Tarrytown, NY. This is not available as a fully remote / hybrid work. In this role, a typical day might include the following: Understand and leverage RGC and Regeneron datasets, external resources, and the scientific/medical literature to generate research questions and then generate relevant phenotypes from longitiudinal clinical data, design and execute genetic association studies, and perform integrative omics analyses to address these research questions Deploy computational methods to integrate genetic data with multiple omics data to more effectively identify/prioritize drug targets illuminated by genetic association data. Work closely with other members of the Immunology and other TAG teams, Analytic Genetics, Sequencing, and GIDE in cross-functional initiatives within the RGC and Regeneron.
