Position Overview

We are seeking a highly motivated and creative Scientist to lead the development of bioanalytical and biomarker methods. This role is pivotal in supporting our biopharmaceutical pipeline within the AAV oncology therapeutic area.

  • Detect and characterize immune responses (Immunogenicity) evoked by biotherapeutics (ADA, Luminex).
  • Measure biomarkers and conduct biological characterization for regulatory filings.
  • Sample Analysis: Implement bioanalytical methods in non-clinical studies and perform on-site sample testing
  • Data Analysis: Analyze and interpret bioanalytical data, establish validated statistical cutpoints, and perform regression analysis to determine limits of detection or construct standard curves, interpolate sample concentrations and antibody titers
  • Timeline Management: Develop and manage timelines and resources to ensure project goals are met with precision.
  • Mentorship: Supervise and mentor other team members, fostering a culture of technical excellence.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work independently and alongside colleagues across various functional areas to support both research and regulated clinical studies.
  • CRO management: Work with external partners to develop and validate outsourced bioanalytical methods for GLP-regulated studies.

Who You Are

We are looking for a collaborator who thrives in a rigorous, entrepreneurial environment. You are someone who balances scientific curiosity with the disciplined execution required to bring medicines to patients.

Required Qualifications :

  • Education: BS or MS in Immunology, Biochemistry, or a related scientific discipline.
  • Experience: A minimum of 5 years of relevant industry experience in a drug development setting
  • Technical Mastery: In-depth understanding and hands-on experience developing quantitative analyte and anti-drug antibody (ADA) assays for protein therapeutics and/or gene therapies
  • Platform Expertise: Proficiency with state-of-the-art technologies such as MSD, ELISpot, and Luminex.
  • Communication: Excellent interpersonal and organizational skills, with a proven track record of solving complex bioanalytical problems.
