Gabbi, Inc. Fractional Data Scientist Intern Remote · Intern
Gabbi is seeking a highly skilled Fractional Data Scientist to join our team and contribute to our mission of expediting time to care for high-risk women through advanced breast cancer risk prediction models. The ideal candidate will play a crucial role in managing and improving our risk assessment tools, including the Tyrer-Cuzick model and our proprietary Gabbi Risk Assessment Model (GRAM).
Description
Have you ever been impacted by breast cancer? Do you know somebody who has? By the time we turn 50, most of us will have been close to somebody who has had a diagnosis or even been diagnosed ourselves. At Gabbi, we’re on a mission to make late-stage breast cancer obsolete.
Early detection is key. Women diagnosed at stage 0 or stage 1 have a 99% survival rate; women diagnosed at stage 4 have a ~30% survival rate.
The problem is that women don’t know their risk, so they don’t know what kind of care to get and when to get it. Gabbi ensures every woman knows her risk with our consumer facing risk assessment and democratizes access to breast specialists via telehealth in order to get women to the right care at the right time.
We imagine a world where every woman knows her risk, and we won’t stop fighting until we get there. At Gabbi, we save lives. Do you want to save lives too?
