The Oxford-Novartis Collaboration for AI in Medicine is a unique large-scale partnership between the Big Data Institute (BDI) and the international pharmaceutical company Novartis. This research alliance aims to improve drug development by making it more efficient and targeted. Using artificial intelligence and advanced analytics along with decades’ worth of Novartis clinical trial data, the partners expect to transform how ultra large and multiple datasets are analysed, combined, and interpreted to identify early predictors of patient responses to treatments for multiple sclerosis. Responsibilities: Develop and apply pipelines to process NO.MS image data, assessing quality of the resulting output. Support and collaborate with scientists and clinicians at the University of Oxford and Novartis to facilitate data annotation strategies and reproducible data analysis.
