Job Description

At Immunai, we’re on a mission to revolutionize the way we treat immune diseases. We believe that by harnessing the power of immunomics and machine learning, we can unlock the key to developing the next generation of immunomodulatory drugs.

Our team, comprised of immunologists, engineers, drug developers, computer scientists, and entrepreneurs, uses cutting-edge technology like single-cell multiomics and functional genomics to map the human immune system like never before. We’re delving deep into its inner workings and uncovering novel insights into immune disease pathology.

With the use of neural networks and transfer learning, we’re sifting through a massive immune database and deciphering the mechanisms of action and resistance of existing drugs. This information is helping us identify and validate new immune targets and target combinations and supports the development of improved therapeutics.

Our ultimate goal is to bring breakthrough medicines to patients as quickly and successfully as possible. With our engineering-first approach, we’re confident we can make it happen. Together, we’re shaping the future of immune disease treatment.
