About MetFlux Research
Job Title: Senior Scientist (Systems Biology): 5-8 Years of Experience
Location: Bengaluru Rajarajeshwari Nagar / Onsite
Organization: MetFlux Research Private Limited
Employment Type: Full-time
About Us
MetFlux Research is building the meX ecosystem a next-generation Biology-first AI integrating systems biology, in-silico modeling, and multi-model analytics to decode metabolic and immune health mechanisms that drive wellness, aging, and chronic-disease solutions.
Our translational R&D arm, MetSolve, partners with nutraceutical, wellness, and life-science organizations to model efficacy, safety, and mechanistic pathways of bioactive compounds and functional formulations. Parallelly, MetSights brings this intelligence into precision-care tools for healthcare and wellness professionals.
Role Overview
We are seeking a Senior Scientist (Systems Biology) who can lead the design, execution, and interpretation of computational systems-biology models across multiple physiological domains. This is a key role that blends computational modeling, physiology, multi-omics integration, and translational science.
The ideal candidate is domain-flexible, methodologically strong, and capable of guiding an interdisciplinary team while delivering scientific rigor and actionable insights for both internal platform development and external R&D projects.
Key Responsibilities
Systems Biology & In-Silico Modeling
- Develop and refine multi-scale, constraint-based, and mechanistic models for human physiology (metabolic, immune, cognitive, skin, gut, or other relevant domains).
- Integrate omics (metabolomics, genomics, transcriptomics, microbiome), clinical markers, and literature-curated mechanisms into unified computational frameworks.
- Derive mechanistic hypotheses and translational insights for nutraceutical, functional food, and wellness R&D projects.
Cross-Domain Research & Flexibility
Adapt systems-biology approaches to diverse health contexts:
- Metabolic health & energy pathways
- Immune & inflammation processes
- Gutmicrobiome interactions
- Cognitive development & neuro-metabolic links
- Skin-health & barrier physiology
- Women's health & child nutrition
- Aging systems biology
- Rapidly learn new domains and translate biological knowledge into computational form.
Leadership & Collaboration
- Lead a multi-disciplinary scientific team, ensuring reproducibility, documentation, and delivery quality.
- Work closely with mathematical modeler, physiologists, nutrition & clinical scientists teams.
- Contribute to building the domain specific meX knowledge graph, physiological ontologies, and multi-domain modeling pipelines for scalable MetSolve offerings.
Scientific Communication & Delivery
- Prepare high-quality scientific reports, client presentations, white papers, and publication-ready material.
- Support proposal development, grant applications, and strategic collaborations
Qualifications & Experience
- PhD/Post-Doctorate in Systems Biology, Computational Biology, Quantitative Physiology, Bioengineering, or related domain.
- 5-8 years of experience in systems-biology modeling, multi-scale data integration, or computational physiology.
- Proven expertise in: Multi-organ or multi-pathway physiological modeling, Hostmicrobiome interaction modeling, Mechanistic or kinetic models (QSP preferred but not mandatory)
- Strong proficiency in MATLAB / Python, with ability to design end-to-end modeling workflows.
- Ability to mentor junior researchers and lead multi-domain scientific workstreams.
- Strong writing, documentation, and scientific interpretation skills.
Attributes We Value
- Domain-agnostic scientific curiosity with ability to work across metabolic, immune, cognitive, skin, and developmental physiology projects.
- Systems-level thinker capable of connecting mechanism phenotype clinical relevance.
- High ownership, detail orientation, and scientific rigor.
- Ability to translate deep models into practical insights for R&D and product development.
Compensation & Growth
- A compensation structure that is fair, competitive, and aligned with expertise and responsibility.
- Opportunity to grow into Scientific Manager & Leadership roles as MetSolve expands.
- Work on impactful, multi-domain projects bridging mechanistic biology, computation, and product innovation.
- A deeply collaborative environment across science, technology, and translational healthcare.
Why Join Us
- Build next-generation multi-domain systems-biology models underlying the precision-health revolution.
- Contribute to impactful projects in wellness, product innovation, and computational healthcare.
- Work with a deeply interdisciplinary team at the intersection of AI, biology, and clinical translation.
- Shape the future of the meX ecosystem, influencing scientific roadmaps across MetSolve and MetSights.
