## Description

The Global Research, Informatics & Platform Solutions team within the Information Research (IR) Division partners with scientists and research organizations across AbbVie to unlock the value of scientific data. By enabling effective management, integration, and use of high-quality research data and delivering informatics platforms and decision-support capabilities, the team helps transform complex scientific information into actionable insights that accelerate discovery, strengthen scientific decision-making, and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of research and development. The role serves as a key bridge of expertise between laboratory scientists and technology teams and is responsible for defining, stewarding, and expanding our bioassay knowledge graph, translating scientific workflows into data solutions, and building data visualizations/AI-enabled solutions that accelerate drug discovery., * Harmonization apply previous biology/biochemistry wet lab experience and strong knowledge of biology data to harmonize knowledge graph data & derive knowledge statements.

 * Communicate ability to communicate with scientists from Discovery teams to understand existing workflows, data flows & gather requirements.
 * Collaborative Design understand the clients needs, propose solutions, and independently develop appropriate solutions.
 * Build Conceive, design, and implement technology solutions that integrate, visualize, and analyze complex multi-platform data; build pipelines to integrate data into systems/warehouses.
 * Integrate understand the value in capturing data properly, integrating internal & external data sets and leveraging ontologies.
 * Support provide solutions to performance-related issues and work with downstream systems to support bioassay-data-driven demands.
 * Technical Proficiency - Demonstrate high proficiency in technologies for data storage, transfer, integration, visualization, and advanced analytics.
 * Adaptability ability to work on multiple, sometimes very different, projects at one time.
 * Breadth contribute independently to a wide variety of projects related to enhancing drug discovery & development.
 * Evaluate - implement automation, AI, and advanced analytics opportunities to improve scientific workflows.
