About the team/job
We are looking for a Web Developer to join Open Targets at EMBL-EBI.
As a key member of the Open Targets core team, you will design and build cloud-first software tailored for the interface between large-scale biomedical data and drug discovery. In collaboration with the other Open Targets partners (BMS, Genentech, GSK, Pfizer, Sanofi, and the Wellcome Sanger Institute), you will work on developing and maintaining our two flagship open-source applications — the Open Targets Platform and Open Targets Genetics. Together, these two resources integrate, organise, and present vast amounts of biomedical data to help research scientists identify and prioritise potential therapeutic drug targets.
What kinds of things do we do?
Our open-source codebases power our flagship applications, the Open Targets Platform and Open Targets Genetics. Both products assist with decision making in drug discovery by systematically prioritising drug targets across a wide range of diseases. They are powered by rich and robust React-based web interfaces that provide a unified search box connected to a series of tools and views. Using harmonised data generated by our pipelines and served by various GraphQL API endpoints, users can explore a range of D3 data visualisations and data tables and export their results for further downstream analyses.
The Platform and Genetics are deployed in the public domain using Google Cloud Platform and by our partner institutions. Together with the other Open Targets partners and our global user base, we work to constantly evolve our products to help tackle unmet clinical needs and maximise the value for all users and stakeholders.
Some of the high impact, large-scale challenges we have tackled include:
