Oxford, United Kingdom Pharmiweb Full time

Immunocore (NASDAQ: IMCR) is a pioneering, commercial-stage T cell receptor biotechnology company whose purpose is to develop and commercialize a new generation of transformative medicines which address unmet patient needs in oncology, infectious diseases and autoimmune disease. Our leaders in R&D are internationally recognised as some of the biotech industry's most successful drug developers. We are creating not just an environment where great minds can interact but an innovation powerhouse answering the big questions.

Focused on delivering first-in-class biological therapies to patients, we have developed a highly innovative soluble TCR platform. Our ImmTAX molecules underpin a new generation of precision engineered drugs that harness the immune system to treat a broad spectrum of diseases with high unmet medical need, including oncology, infectious diseases and autoimmune diseases.

We strive to create a diverse and inclusive workplace, while seeking talented individuals to work with us across the many functions that will allow us to deliver new medicines to transform the lives of patients. You will work with outstanding people who together pioneer the research, development and commercialization of bi-specific TCR therapies. We aim to create an environment where individual contributions and initiatives can be maximized, while fostering a culture of collaboration, based on respect and integrity. We want each individual employee to own their career, as part of high-performing teams, and in the context of on-the-job and formal continuous development and training, as well as constructive feedback. We always strive to identify ways to improve what we do and how we do it, by asking questions, voicing opinions, exploring various approaches and staying connected with healthcare professionals, patients, academia and other key partners.

The Principal Scientist In Silico Biologics Design will provide world class expertise in machine learning to drive the establishment of robust in silico methodologies that integrates computational predictions with empirical laboratory data to revolutionise the design of our class-leading T-cell receptor (TCR) drugs. Using our wealth of structural data, combined with further in-house and public domain data sets, the successful applicant will develop ML algorithms to impact the design of future drugs. This is an exciting technology-focussed role so innovation, execution and collaboration are key factors for success. Working closely with the In Silico and automation teams within Protein Engineering, you will provide scientific and technical leadership relating to machine learning that will ultimately result in further progression of our growing pipeline of first-in-class drugs to benefit patients. With our successful launch in 2022, of the world's first TCR based medicine, KIMMTRAK, which is also the first launched treatment for any solid tumour, you will be joining us at the most exciting time in our history, and be part of a team that values innovation, trust and collaboration.
