Description
• As a Director of Data Operations, you will be leading most of the efforts of the company related to collection and curation of multimodal data. You will lead the team whose role spans from extracting the raw data in our data partners information systems to providing a fit-for-AI dataset which then can be used by data scientists. This involves many steps such as extraction, cleaning, curation, imputation, pseudonymisation, jointure of different datasets (e.g. histology slides with patient tabular information), alignment to a common data model and design of connectors to these data. • Owkin has a particular focus on multimodal datasets including histology and genomics data on top of clinical data. Our projects span various therapeutic areas and medical expertise (oncology, cardiovascular, immunity and inflammation). The team is in charge of managing the process of data curation across all modalities, with a particular expertise on clinical data. • Day to day you will interact with our data partners, often large hospitals, to extract and prepare specific datasets with the goal of using them later in data science driven biomedical research. You will have to drive the interactions with all stakeholders and data operations to produce a final clean and fit-for-AI dataset that is matching the project requirements. • Additionally, you will manage the process for generation of rich datasets using the latest technologies available in the field of genomics and single cell omics. This will involve participation in the definition of the acquisition pipeline and most importantly the organization of all the relevant data management activities. • You will also initiate the development of innovative approaches to curate data through automated tools, in order to optimize and scale the process of getting data on Owkin’s platform for biomedical research.
