About Us

MetFlux Research is creating the ΩmeX ecosystem, a new platform that helps improve health by using systems biology, multi-omics analytics, and computer modeling.

MetSights Precision Genetics,

human genetics, mechanistic biology, and translational bioinformatics.

Role Overview

Biocuration & Genetic Personalization,

Your work will directly contribute to:

• PRS expansion
• Gene-variant annotation pipelines
• Mechanistic interpretation layers
• MetSights personalised genetics insights

This role is ideal for final early graduates who are detail-oriented, research-driven, and excited to work with real-world genetics data.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform

  structured literature mining

  to extract gene functions, variant effects, pathways, and mechanistic insights.
• Curate genetic variant annotations using primary & secondary genomic databases (e.g., ClinVar, dbSNP, GWAS Catalog, Ensembl, OMIM).
• Summarize biological mechanisms, regulatory effects, and gene-pathway interactions relevant to precision health.
• Maintain high-quality, consistent biocuration documentation aligned with MetFlux standards.
• Use

  Python or R

  for organizing annotations, handling datasets, and basic automation workflows.
• Support senior scientists in building

  genetic interpretation layers

  for the ΩmeX knowledge graph and MetSights Precision modules.

Who We’re Looking For

Education:

• Completed graduation in Genetics, Bioinformatics, Biotechnology, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, or a related field.

Core Competencies:

• Strong understanding of

  human genetics

  , gene regulation, and biological pathways.
• Familiarity with

  bioinformatics databases

  (ClinVar, Ensembl, OMIM, UniProt, GTEx, etc.).
• Ability to read and interpret scientific literature, especially

  mechanistic and molecular studies

  .
• Strong scientific writing and structured summarization skills.
• Basic proficiency in

  Python or R

  .
• High attention to detail, consistency, and data accuracy.

Nice to Have

• Interest in

  precision genomics

  , PRS, and personalized health.
• Ability to simplify and translate complex mechanisms into clear summaries.
• Curiosity-driven, analytical mindset with evidence-based thinking.
• Familiarity with versioning tools (Git), notebooks, or basic automation workflows.

Why Join Us

• Competitive Stipend
• Get hands-on experience in a

  real-world precision genetics program

  .
• Work closely with senior scientists shaping the genetic engine behind MetSights.
• Build biocuration, mechanistic reasoning, and scientific writing skills.
• Learn how genetics, systems biology, and computational pipelines come together in applied precision health.
• High-performing interns may receive an

  offer for a full-time role

  .
