Head of Oncology Informatics

We are developing the technology to activate electronic health records (EHR) data for clinical trials from the ground up. Billions of dollars are being spent every year to parse the EMR data, interpret it and then enter it into some forms with discrete fields so that researchers can then analyze patient journeys. Triomics is pioneering a platform that will automate this process and we are looking for a senior oncology informaticist. If you want to solve decades of inefficiencies in clinical research with some of the latest tools at your disposal, this role is cut out for you.

Our mission involves constructing natural language processing solutions from the ground up to tackle the untapped reservoir of patient data currently locked within EMR notes. Here at Triomics, we're bullish on the potential of large language models as the solution to unlock this goldmine of information. It's an exciting time for us given the recent advancements in healthcare interoperability as well as natural language processing.

Our team is led by young, highly-optimistic founders who are former MIT and Adobe researchers, bringing a wealth of complementary expertise to the table. Since our founding two years ago, we've secured over $14 million in venture capital from investors like Lightspeed, Nexus, Y Combinator, and General Catalyst. In 2022 alone, we've grown our revenue by 8x, which is a testament to the effectiveness of our approach.
