About Somite Somite.ai is a venture-backed company aiming to become the OpenAI of stem cell biology , developing AI foundation models for human stem cells to drive novel cell therapies at scale. We take a full-stack approach - generating data at 1,000x lower cost, training large-scale models with unmatched predictive power, and using these models to discover, refine, and optimize high-impact applications in cell therapy. Our founding team includes repeat AI entrepreneur Dr. Micha Breakstone ( Chorus.ai , acquired for $575M), the Head of the Fundamental AI Group at MIT (pioneered the foundational research on scaling laws ), and three Harvard Medical School professors and National Academy of Sciences/Medicine members, including the Chair of the Genetics Department at HMS. Based in Boston and launching operations in January 2024, Somite has raised close to $60M to date ( Forbes ). Somite’s Core Values: We show up – fully accountable, all-in, doing whatever it takes We act with urgency – swift, decisive, proactive We support one another – collaborative, helpful, empathetic Location: Boston, MA (onsite, full-time) About the Role: We seek a skilled Bioinformatician to lead the design and execution of analysis pipelines for large-scale transcriptomic datasets. You’ll be responsible for preprocessing, quality control, and biological interpretation of sequencing data, contributing to the development of novel sequencing protocols and technologies in close collaboration with wet lab scientists, computational biologists and machine learning researchers to support Somite’s therapeutic programs. This is a hands-on, data-centric role ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, interdisciplinary environment and wants to help build transformative cell therapy technologies from the ground up. Responsibilities: Build, maintain, and run robust, reproducible pipelines for single-cell and bulk RNA-seq data (QC, alignment, quantification, normalization, clustering, annotation, etc.). Apply standard and advanced analyses using tools likeScanpy, Seurat, and R/Bioconductor packages. Process and interpret data from state-of-the-art single-cell transcriptomic and multiomic platforms, alongside new in-house protocols being developed to enable innovative microbiological sequencing workflows. Collaborate with wet lab scientists to support experimental design and data interpretation. Mentor and foster collaboration and knowledge sharing across disciplines. Help design and validate cutting-edge protocols for novel transcriptomic technologies, integrating new experimental modalities with bioinformatics pipeline.
