Zusammenfassung

PathoMatch AI is assembling a founding team in Switzerland to build an AI-driven platform that links pathogen genomes to effective biologic treatments. The Clinical Microbiologist will lead clinical validation of 24-hour “Match-to-Bedside” workflows and act as the clinical brain behind the platform.

The role requires a PhD or MD in Clinical Microbiology or Infectious Diseases, with Swiss lab experience being a strong plus. Hybrid work in St. Gallen/Zurich and at least 20% commitment are expected.

Qualifikationen

• PhD or MD in Clinical Microbiology, Infectious Diseases, or related field.
• Experience in a Swiss clinical laboratory is a major plus.
• Strong ability to interpret genomic/phage data for clinical use.

Aufgaben

• Lead clinical validation of AI-generated pathogen-to-prescription mappings.
• Interface with Swissmedic and hospital labs to standardize 24-hour matching workflows.
• Oversee quality control of phage “recipes” and ensure sterility/endotoxin standards.
• Explain complex genomic matches to clinicians and hospital pharmacists.

Jobbeschreibung

Location: St. Gallen/Zurich, Switzerland (Hybrid) Commitment: (at least 20% basis)

PathoMatch AI is an early-stage biotech startup building an AI-driven platform that connects pathogen genomes with the most effective biologic treatments - starting with phages and continuing with fungi and mycoviruses .

Our goal is to tackle antibiotic resistance through precision biologics and machine learning, guided by the One Health principle that connects human, animal, and environmental health.

We are assembling a founding team with complementary strengths, and looking for a Clinical Microbiologist.

Why This Role Matters

You are a visionary Clinical Microbiologist to lead our Pathogen-to-Prescription validation. You will be the clinical brain ensuring that our 24-hour "Match-to-Bedside" promise is biologically and clinically sound.

• Clinical Validation: Interpret "Phagograms" and genomic matches generated by our AI engine to approve personalized phage cocktails for Swiss "Magistral Preparation.
• Regulatory Interface: Act as our clinical liaison with Swissmedic and hospital lab directors to standardize the 24-hour matching workflow.
• Bio-Logistics Oversight: Oversee the QC (Quality Control) for synthetic phage "recipes" and ensure the sterility/endotoxin profiles meet ICU standards.
• The Credentials: PhD or MD in Clinical Microbiology, Infectious Diseases, or a related field. Experience in a Swiss clinical laboratory is a major plus.
• The Modernist: You aren't satisfied with 72-hour antibiotic susceptibility tests. You want to use NGS (Next Gen Sequencing) and AI to find answers in minutes.
• The Communicator: You can explain a "Synthetic Phage Match" to a skeptical hospital pharmacist and a high-net-worth biohacker with equal clarity.

What We Offer

• Currently your compensation is 100% stocks, and a central role in shaping the company’s direction.
• Hands-on collaboration with experts in microbiology, AI, and health innovation.
• Shape the "Operating System" of the future of biological medicine.
• A culture built on trust, curiosity, and scientific excellence - no bureaucracy, full ownership.
