Missions

In the context of the MetaboLinkAI project, you will contribute to the design and development of an innovative user interface intended to facilitate the exploration and querying of a multi-omics knowledge graph. This module, achievable over 5 months, aims to provide researchers with an intuitive platform integrating generative AI, capable of processing and visualizing complex multi-omics data from various sources.

Activités

• UI/UX Design and Prototyping: Participate in defining functional requirements and in designing interactive mockups for a user-friendly interface tailored to researchers.
• Front-End Development: Implement the interface using modern frameworks (e.g., React, Angular, or equivalents) and ensure smooth communication with the backend.
• Integration of Generative AI: Collaborate with the AI team to integrate generative AI features, enabling the interpretation and reformulation of user queries on the knowledge graph.
• Knowledge Graph Management: Work closely with multi-omics data experts to ensure that the interface allows dynamic and intuitive querying of graphs (based on standards such as RDF, OWL, SPARQL).
• Testing and Validation: Establish user testing procedures and functional validation to optimize the interface's performance and ergonomics.
• Technical Documentation: Write and maintain detailed documentation of the developments carried out and the technical choices made.
