BIOINFORMATICS Software Developer with Intelligent Medical Devices, Inc.

;

Intelligent Medical Devices, Inc., (“IntelligentMD™” or “IMD”), develops “smart” nucleic acid-based diagnostic tests (NAT) to empower care-givers worldwide with fast, accurate diagnoses of critical infectious diseases at the point of care. The NAT market is in excess of $1 billion and is the fastest growing segments of the entire IVD industry.

The company uses its proprietary “symptom-based diagnostics” approach to disease detection. The goal is to give users “smart” tests that detect several related diseases at once – more quickly and more economically than current systems that perform only individual tests. The company’s core technology is its proprietary bioinformatics system, PriMD®, which combines unique analytical software to overcome the limitations of designing sensitive and specific assays against multiple optimization criteria using rapidly expanding and diverse databases.

As a result of our growth, we have an immediate opening for a Bioinformatics Software Developer
