Senior Research Scientist

Job Title: Senior Scientist – Physiology Experience: 4-6 Years MetFlux Research Pvt. Employment Type: Full-time About MetFlux Research MetFlux Research is building the ΩmeX ecosystem - a next-generation, biology-first AI platform integrating systems biology, multi-omics analytics, quantitative modeling, and deep physiology to decode human health states across metabolic, immune, gut, cognitive, skin, women’s health, aging, and developmental physiology. Our translational R&D vertical, MetSolve, works with nutraceutical, wellness, pharma, diagnsotics, and life-science organizations to model bioactive efficacy, safety, mechanistic pathways, and predictive outcomes. Our precision-care vertical, MetSights, converts these scientific insights into actionable clinical-grade intelligence for healthcare and wellness professionals. We are seeking a Senior Scientist (Physiology) to lead the physiological interpretation, mechanistic mapping, and biological validation layers within our multi-disciplinary R&D team. This role is central to ensuring that our systems-biology models, multi-omics analyses, and mathematical simulations remain biologically correct, physiologically coherent, and translationally meaningful. The ideal candidate has deep expertise in subclinical physiology, metabolic and immune pathways, and multi-system interactions, and is capable of bridging domain knowledge with computational and modeling teams. This role directly complements the Systems Biology and the Quantitative Modeling scientific team. Validate system-biology model outputs against physiological principles, clinical knowledge, and published verifiable literature. Multi-Modal Data Integration Interpret clinical biomarkers, metabolomics, microbiome patterns, imaging markers (DXA), genetics, and exposome data from a physiology lens. Cross-Domain Research ~ Gut physiology & host–microbiome interactions; Cognitive / neuro-metabolic physiology; Skin & barrier physiology; Women’s health & child development; Aging physiology & resilience pathways Collaboration with Modeling & Systems Biology Teams Partner with systems biologists, mathematical modelers, and clinical scientists to: define constraints; Contribute to building the ΩmeX physiological ontology & knowledge graph across multiple health domains. Scientific Communication & Delivery Draft mechanistic rationales, physiological summaries, white papers, and scientific reports for internal and client-facing work. Assist MetSolve R&D teams in shaping scientific narratives for nutraceutical/functional food efficacy, mode-of-action, and safety. Qualifications & Experience PhD in: Human Physiology; Systems Physiology; Integrative Biology; Clinical Physiology; Neurosciences / Immunology / Endocrinology (with strong physiology background) or related fields Experience ~5–8 years of research or industry experience applying deep physiological knowledge to multi-system health, clinical interpretation, or translational biology. ~ Experience in multi-disciplinary, research-oriented, or computational biology environments preferred. Strong grounding in metabolic physiology, immune physiology, and host–microbiome dynamics. Ability to connect mechanistic physiology → phenotype → clinical relevance. Familiarity with omics data interpretation (metabolomics, transcriptomics, microbiome). Experience working with computational or modeling teams (not mandatory but highly preferred). Soft/Scientific Skills High ownership, scientific rigor, and cross-functional collaboration. Comfortable working in fast-paced, research-driven setups Domain-agnostic curiosity across metabolic, immune, cognitive, skin, and aging physiology. Ability to break down complex physiology into structured, computationally useful frameworks. A systems-thinker who understands compensatory biology, network effects, and subclinical transitions.
