Data Scientist

A fantastic opportunity to join a growing biotech Developing innovative technology to support diagnosis and biomarker discovery

About Our Client

The client are an innovative biotech developing cutting-edge biosensors for use in diagnostics and biomarker discovery applications.

Job Description

As a Data Scientist you will:

Develop computational models to analyse correlation between test data and performance, supporting with optimisation of products Support the development of a MySQL-based engineering database, integrating real-time sensor and assay performance data Implement multivariate computational models (e.g., Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Partial Least Squares (PLS)) to identify key measurement variables within complex electrochemical datasets. Develop non-linear regression models to improve the accuracy of immunoassay data analysis. Apply machine learning techniques, including Random Forest and neural networks, to classify sample types based on electrochemical measurements, supporting biomarker discovery Design and optimise predictive models to identify novel biomarker panels, combining healthcare data and biomarker signatures. Develop AI-driven classification models to differentiate between patient sub-types based on electrochemical sensor outputs.

The role is site-based in the central belt of Scotland
