About DIANA Biotechnologies

We are the most successful Czech biotechnology startup, and we are just getting global. We started in 2018 and since then we have initiated successful research and development in human molecular diagnostics, small molecule drugs, and monoclonal antibodies. We already have a product portfolio on the diagnostics market, and we have been the most important developer and manufacturer of COVID-19 PCR diagnostics in the Czech Republic. We are continuing our mission of providing our own products in diverse biotechnological areas as well as developing our own original therapeutics.

Even though we are a young company, we have already grown to over 100 employees.  Our courage and a healthy financial background give us the ability to run long-term, ambitious projects with a global impact. If you join us, you will be a part of the creation of a unique biotechnology company which is the first of its kind in the Central Europe.

What will be your responsibilities?

• Preparing a bioinformatical basis for diagnostic PCR assay development (e.g., for viruses: gathering phylogenetic information, sequence data, preparing sequence alignments, sequence clustering followed by our proprietary downstream analyses).
• Assistance with background research and literature or documentation review on a range of topics, including (but not limited to) microbiology, virology, software and algorithms, or biological and chemical databases.
• Participation in the development of software solutions to a range of bio- or chemoinformatical tasks emerging within the company (e.g., automated evaluation of PCR results or image analysis).
• You will be supported by our senior computational scientist.

Who are we looking for?

• A motivated individual with a demonstrable bioinformatical toolset:
  • Confidence working with at least one popular, general-purpose programming language (for example, Python, Java).
  • Understanding of general computing and software development concepts (for example, algorithms and data structures, computational complexity, version control).
  • nowledge of fundamental molecular biological and biochemical principles.
