Job Title: Clinical Data Engineer

Job Location: FULLY REMOTE

Job Description/Comment:

The Danaher Diagnostics Sepsis initiative was formed in 2017 under the leadership of Danaher’s CSO, with the aim to move the needle on sepsis and reduce mortality globally by bringing innovative technology solutions to market.  The team is composed of individuals from the Danaher Diagnostic platform, Beckman Coulter, Cepheid, and Radiometer operating companies (OpCos) who work together collaboratively on sepsis solutions.  By positioning the different Danaher operating companies’ sepsis product lines together through a robust clinical evidence strategy, there is an exciting opportunity to make a greater impact in improving clinical outcomes for patients with sepsis.

The CLIENT Dx Sepsis solution incorporates an AI/ML algorithm, trained on real world data (RWD) from patient medical records linked with hematology data generated by the Beckman Coulter DxH900 instrument (which includes the FDA cleared Early Sepsis Indicator parameter), to predict sepsis onset for a patient. CLIENT has also partnered with the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), under the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR), within the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to commercialize this Digital Dx Sepsis solution. The press release of this partnership can be found at https://www.beckmancoulter.com/en/about-beckman-coulter/newsroom/press-releases/2019/q4/2019-29-october-bec-receives-barda-funding

Building from the success of the Sepsis initiative thus far, Danaher Diagnostics is creating a data analytics and science team to generate novel insights and real-world evidence (RWE) from real world data (RWD) that contain lab results generated by DHR Dx OpCo instruments linked to patient medical records. In this role, you will be responsible for driving technical execution and helping us create a best-in-class data & analytics organization. You will work with various stakeholders both inside and outside the organization to execute on our research initiatives.
