Join us as we translate today's discoveries into tomorrow's medicine!

The Project Scientist will work closely with Dr. Tatonetti to guide the conduct of basic and translational bioinformatics research and implementation of data-driven innovations into the practice of clinical care. The Tatonetti Lab at Cedars-Sinai is dedicated to combining observational clinical data and molecular and genomics data to advance drug safety and drug discovery for traditionally underrepresented populations. In addition, we lead the development of data-driven machine learning and artificial intelligence solutions to improve cancer research and cancer clinical care at the medical center. The Project Scientist will make significant and creative contributions to these efforts and work closely with Dr. Tatonetti on their management.
