CAVE, based on the Multi-Dimensional Viewer (MDV) data platform (https://mdv.molbiol.ox.ac.uk/), will enable researchers to explore vast multiomic datasets and other biological data types through a user-friendly, browser-based interface. This project will leverage the visualisation capabilities of MDV to develop an intuitive, centralised data portal, significantly enhancing scientific insight across various therapeutic areas. The consortium has generated a wealth of unique cross-discipline data focused on priority J&J therapeutic targets – involving 9 disciplines across 15 health or disease conditions. The project now benefits from an experienced, collaborative team and an established and refined multiomics platform. The comprehensive data collated has already revealed areas of interest to J&J and Oxford but is still in its infancy. This project aims to accelerate this analysis, enabling the delivery of a multiomic, crosstissue and cross-disease Cartography Atlas, accessible via a user-friendly, web-based platform that allows the full breadth of the analysed Cartography data to be readily queried and visualised. This includes incorporating using Large Language Models to help users analyse their data. We are seeking an exceptional Front-End JavaScript Engineer to join our team.
