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 ΩmeX 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 pathwaysImmune & inflammation processesGut–microbiome interactionsCognitive development & neuro-metabolic linksSkin-health & barrier physiologyWomen’s health & child nutritionAging systems biologyRapidly 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 ΩmeX 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 collaborationsQualifications & 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, Host–microbiome 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
