Platform Engineer

Relation Therapeutics overview

Relation Therapeutics strives to discover new biology to cure disease faster, transforming the traditional R&D model: because patients are waiting. Integral to this, Relation combines the power of recommender systems machine learning and large-scale, high-quality data that describes disease biology, to find better ways of targeting pathology and treating patients. To do so, we generate proprietary maps of disease in humans, leveraging human genetics, single-cell omics and perturbational data, so that these powerful models can be deployed at last. Relation’s platform sits in an integrated wet-lab, dry-lab, translational science loop, located in London.
