Xairatherapeutics AI in Residence at Xaira Therapeutics developing and advancing machine learning models for biological and translational datasets. Own projects end-to-end from problem framing to deployment in drug discovery workflows.
Responsibilities
Develop and advance ML models for biological, preclinical, and translational datasets (e.g., multimodal omics, imaging, text, assay data)
Design and implement scalable pipelines for data curation, training, evaluation, and inference integrated into discovery workflows
Own projects end-to-end: problem framing → prototyping → validation → deployment
Evaluate robustness and reliability (generalization, uncertainty, failure modes), plus interpretability where it supports scientific decision-making
Contribute technical leadership by proposing new directions, shaping platform capabilities, and raising engineering/research standards through collaboration
You Might Work On
Examples include (not limited to):
Foundation / representation models over multimodal biological and translational data
Methods for small, biased, noisy datasets; distribution shift; and uncertainty estimation
ML systems for experimental prioritization, assay interpretation, or translational signal discovery
Evaluation frameworks and benchmarks tailored to discovery decision-making
Tooling that makes models usable by scientists (interfaces, automation, monitoring)
