Responsibilities
Develop and refine GPT/LLM tools for data aggregation, processing, interpretation, and automated report generation across safety workflows
Build literature-mining and evidence-triage pipelines (e.g., extracting adverse findings, targets, pathways, phenotypes) to inform target safety assessments
Integrate multimodal data (public and internal)—including omics, preclinical findings, clinical safety signals, and real-world evidence—into coherent risk narratives
Generate mechanistic off-target hypotheses and pathway-level safety rationales to support internal safety evaluation and documentation
Apply Responsible/Trustworthy AI practices: bias testing, interpretability, human-in-the-loop review, secure handling of sensitive data
Write clear documentation (methods, assumptions, limitations) and contribute to automation codebase and templates for Target Liability
Present progress and findings to TSRS stakeholders; incorporate feedback to iterate on tools and analyses
Collaborate with TSRS team members to prioritize use cases with maximum impact
