About the job
We are an innovative global healthcare company with one purpose: to chase the miracles of science to improve people’s lives. We’re also a company where you can flourish and grow your career, with countless opportunities to explore, make connections with people, and stretch the limits of what you thought was possible.
We go ‘all in’ on digital and artificial intelligence (AI) approaches to accelerate research and development and bring medicine to patient at the right time.
Ready to join a motivated and highly skilled Biomarker Statistics Team?
Main responsibilities
During your master-thesis, you will be leveraging AI technics and internalizing AI algorithms for clinical trial outcome prediction. You will review several newly proposed AI-based approaches (e.g., HINT, SPOT, PlaNet and LLM-based approaches).
These approaches usually consider multi-modal data (e.g., drug molecule, target disease, eligibility criteria, safety, biological knowledge) and integrate all these data into a deep learning model to predict the success or failure of a given clinical trial before it starts, supporting some internal decision-making processes. Following the state-of-the-art review phase, you will internalize and test some of these algorithms on existing benchmarks and internal clinical trials. A rigorous evaluation on these approaches will be essential as it will serve as a basis to develop our own fit-for-purpose and end-to-end AI-based model for efficient clinical trial outcome prediction. Datasets and codes (Python) are released on GitHub.
