The Role

Computercraft is looking for a Product Owner to support our work for the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), part of the National Library of Medicine (NLM) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
The dbGap Product Owner will help develop and manage data-access-related products, tools, and protocols for the database of Genotypes and Phenotypes (dbGaP), a unique scientific resource of human health and genetic data at NCBI. Created to support NIH’s data-sharing policy, dbGaP is one of few bioscience resources that combine human genetic sequence data and phenotype data—information on the specific characteristics and medical conditions of human subjects. Researchers who receive grants from NIH—and others who wish to share their research findings—can submit detailed phenotype, genotype, sequence, and other study-related data to dbGaP in a secure manner. NCBI makes this valuable trove of data available for advanced biomedical research. Researchers seeking access to datasets of interest from dbGaP must undergo a rigorous approval process to ensure the highest scientific, privacy, and ethical standards. The dbGaP Product Owner has a unique opportunity to help shape the mechanisms by which these highly valuable data are used to further human health.
NCBI’s web and data products are preeminent, open-source tools and technologies used worldwide to contribute to biomedical research and discovery, facilitate the work of clinicians, and drive the frontiers of science and medicine. NCBI provides free access to petabytes of biomedical and genomic information, and scientists all over the world use its products.
