ConcR

ConcR is a start-up focussed on answering the question “Will this cancer drug work?”. We are developing custom modelling frameworks in collaboration with astrophysicists from Durham, to enable us to model a broader range of the tumour biology than is currently possible, and through that enable accurate predictions of drug efficacy to be made with less data. Our first product is focussed on helping accelerate the development of cancer drugs before they used in clinical trials. We are looking for a software engineer to join the core team as lead developer. Key responsibilities would include developing the software for ConcR’s products, defining software architecture and strategy, and instituting and managing quality management processes. The product is being built in Python. The primary model development is performed using the Python scientific stack and Julia. We use AWS and GCP to perform some of the more complex calculations.
