Come join us as we supercharge GSK’s data capability!

At GSK we are building a best-in-class data and prediction powered team that is ambitious for patients.

Scientific Digital and Tech’s goal is to power the discovery, development and supply of medicines and vaccines to patients. This means new tools to discover new medicines and vaccines, predictive capability for pre-clinical research, accelerated CMC and supply chain and an improved day-to-day laboratory experience for our scientists. Our Digital & Tech solutions will automate workflows and speed up decisions; freeing hands and releasing minds to focus on science.

As R&D enters a new era of data driven science, we are building a data engineering capability to ensure we have high quality data captured with context and aligned data models, so that the data is useable and reusable for a variety of use cases.

GSK R&D and Digital and Tech’s collective goal is to deliver business impact, including the acceleration of the discovery and development of medicines and vaccines to patients.  The R&D Digital and Tech remit has expanded over the past 2 years, and to position GSK for the future, The change will strengthen R&D Tech, to provide more strategic impact, focus, accountability, and improved decision making in the use of Digital, Data and Analytics (DDA) to strengthen the pipeline.
