Prostate cancer is the second most frequent cancer in men and the fifth leading cause of death worldwide. Most prostate cancer patients have several treatment pathways to consider. Immediate treatment carries the risk of severe side effects such as incontinence or erectile dysfunction.
However, in most cases patients only require Active Surveillance and can delay treatment for many years. Unfortunately, only 30% of all patients diagnosed are placed on Active Surveillance, while the majority often perform unnecessary and harmful treatment.
Choosing a treatment option is complicated and can vary greatly based on the stage of the cancer, the patient’s age, overall health and life expectancy, as well as personal preferences.
PRiiMO’s mission is to personalize the prevention, screening, diagnosis, monitoring, treatment and post-treatment of these patients, minimizing risk and treatment costs, and maximizing the number of normal life years.
PRiiMO has embarked on a journey to define and create the world’s most comprehensive database, providing patient-specific monitoring and treatment of prostate cancer. PRiiMO optimizes the patient pathway by applying advanced AI and Machine Learning technologies to patient-specific data, fusing the full range of personal and lifestyle information, genomics, biomarkers, test results and imaging.
We are actively growing our team and looking for those who want to change the way
cancer is treated and make an unprecedent impact on patients’ lives.
The position:
We’re seeking a super talented Chief Data Scientist.
This person will build the Machine Learning layer that will collect the various medical parameters and biomarkers, and fuse them together to create insights for an optimized monitoring and treatment plan for the patient.
You are expected to lead all aspects of PRiiMO’s Machine Learning R&D; understand and refine goals, define and implement algorithms from prototypes to full deployment, create insights and forecasts from medical bio-markers and big data, handle data management operations and software engineering, as well as build the Machine Learning team and manage it.
You will “bootstrap” all research and engineering processes, and work closely with our CTO.
Skills:
