<h1><strong>About Orakl Oncology</strong></h1><p style="min-height:1.5em">At Orakl Oncology, we are accelerating the development of oncology treatments. Today, fewer than 5% of new cancer drugs succeed in clinical trials. Clearly, new methods are needed. We combine <strong>cutting-edge biology</strong> and <strong>AI</strong> to build the next generation of insight platforms with the world’s largest cohort of patient tumor avatars. These avatars fuel our <strong>AI-powered predictive engine</strong>, helping to anticipate clinical trial outcomes, validate therapies, and uncover new drug candidates. By generating multimodal, real-world data, we deliver insights that consistently outperform existing solutions.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">Our mission is simple yet ambitious: to <strong>bring more effective treatments to patients</strong> who need them - and to make drug development smarter, faster, and more personalized. We collaborate with top hospitals, research institutes, and pharmaceutical companies worldwide. Backed by leading investors, we are a <strong>fast-growing, mission-driven startup</strong> at the intersection of science and technology.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">The company is growing fast, and we are now seeking the best talents to come and join our exciting and ambitious team in the fight against cancer - join us!</p><p style="min-height:1.5em"></p><h1><strong>Position overview</strong></h1><p style="min-height:1.5em">Orakl Oncology works on a large cohort of patient-derived organoids (PDO) to predict clinical outcomes of patients and derisk clinical trials.
