Spring Discovery | Data Scientist / Applied ML | Full-Time | Bay Area Spring Discovery is accelerating the discovery of therapies for aging (and its many related diseases) using machine learning. Aging is the single greatest risk factor for the most detrimental diseases on Earth — by understanding and treating the biological damage accumulated as we age, we can find powerful new therapies for fighting disease and living healthier, longer lives. (For newcomers: over the past few decades an unignorable amount of evidence has piled up from the best labs in the world that this is possible[1].) We’re using machine learning to speed up experimentation in a field that has historically struggled to experiment quickly. Here’s more on our mission and approach: https://medium.com/spring-discovery/accelerating-the-discove... We just raised a 4.25M seed from General Catalyst, First Round, Sam Altman, Laura Deming, and more[2]. We’ve got a team of leading aging biologists working closely w/ machine learning folks, and we’re hiring a pragmatic data scientist to round out our early team.
