Senior/Principal Scientist Digital Health Platforms, Neuroscience

The convergence of scientific knowledge and advanced technology has created an unprecedented opportunity for the biotechnology industry to improve outcomes for patients today and in the future. The Personalized Healthcare (PDP) function aims to transform drug development and enable patient access

and patient care by leveraging meaningful data at scale – high-dimensionality datasets with longitudinal clinical trial and real-world data from large cohorts of patients, with deep characterization of individuals using techniques such as whole genome sequencing, transcriptomics, immune system profiling, anatomic and pathology imaging, and digital approaches to continuous monitoring. The PDP function builds capabilities for data and insight sharing; applies advanced analytics to identify novel targets and biomarkers to increase development productivity and new methods for characterizing disease states and

quantifying disease activity; generates insights to fundamentally change the drug development paradigm; and shapes the internal and external environment to enable value recognition from these insights.

The Digital Health Platforms department within PDP is chiefly responsible for late-stage development of digital tools, including devices and mobile medical applications, which enable patient data collection, monitoring, and optimized care of patients across a range of therapeutic areas. This newly created role,
