Clinical Data and Project Manager

Project Manager

Galatea Bio is an innovative, venture backed biotechnology company with a mission to advance precision health for all. Founded by pioneers in the human genetics and bioinformatics industry, we identified a major gap in the way underrepresented communities are included in and derive benefit from advances in precision health, such as the development of new tests and cures. The last 20 years have seen an explosion of genetic information and data. New technological advances have made it faster and less expensive to understand the human genomes but most of those resources have focused on northern European communities. The mission of Galatea Bio is to channel the diversity of the world into advancing genomic medicine for the benefit of all. Leveraging clinical-grade biobanking, research and clinical genomics, and best-in-class ancestry and genome annotation algorithms, we will better understand the genetic architecture of underserved populations and power the next generation of precision medicine studies while maintaining an uncompromising commitment to ethical research.
