The Onyx Research Data Tech organization is GSK's Research data ecosystem which has the capability to bring together, analyze, and power the exploration of data at scale. We partner with scientists across GSK to define and understand their challenges and develop tailored solutions that meet their needs. The goal is to ensure scientists have the right data and insights when they need it to give them a better starting point for and accelerate medical discovery. Ultimately, this helps us get ahead of disease in more predictive and powerful ways.

Onyx is a full-stack shop consisting of product and portfolio leadership, data engineering, infrastructure and DevOps, data / metadata / knowledge platforms, and AI/ML and analysis platforms, all geared toward:

Building a next-generation, metadata- and automation-driven data experience for GSK's scientists, engineers, and decision-makers, increasing productivity and reducing time spent on "data mechanics".

Providing best-in-class AI/ML and data analysis environments to accelerate our predictive capabilities and attract top-tier talent.

Aggressively engineering our data at scale, as one unified asset, to unlock the value of our unique collection of data and predictions in real-time.

At GSK we see a world in which advanced applications ofAI will allow us to develop transformational medicines using the power of genetics, functional genomics, andmachinelearning. AI will also play a role in how we diagnose and use medicines to enable everyone to do more, feel better, and live longer.
