Explain an unexpected result
Genentech says its recruiting process varies by role and location. Prepare an example of how you checked an unexpected result and shared the evidence.
ExampleExplain what the assay measures
“taking functionally meaningful cellular responses and phenotypes and converting them to high-throughput quantitative assays”
John MoffatDistinguished Scientist - Technology, Biochemical and Cellular Pharmacology, Drug Discovery, Genentech
Check a separate readout
Moffat describes his group’s discovery assay work. Practise explaining what the first measurement shows and what a separate readout adds.
ExampleConnect model and experiment
“our laboratory experiments and our machine learning and AI algorithms in an iterative process. We go back and forth between them.”
Aviv RegevHead of Genentech Research and Early Development
Check the model’s evidence
In Roche’s transcript, Regev describes how model and experimental work inform each other. Say what evidence would change your next research plan.
