Job Description Translational Molecular Biomarkers (TMB) is responsible for the development and execution of clinical biomarker assays across all therapeutic areas and all phases of clinical development within our company's research laboratories. TMB laboratories leverage a diverse array of technologies to develop biomarker assays to help confirm engagement of therapeutic targets and understand mechanisms drug action and patient response.
The Immunoassay group within the TMB organization is seeking a highly motivated candidate to join our team.
The individual will play a critical role in the development and validation immunoassay-based assays that are deployed in support of clinical trials.
The candidate for this Senior Scientist position should have strong technical expertise in immunoassays for protein quantitation and enzymatic activity assessment in biological samples. The candidate should have a strong interest in lab-based assay development, validation, and clinical sample analysis. In addition, the candidate should have interest in collaborating closely with out-sourcing partners on the scientific oversight of assays that support our pipeline.
The individual will have the following responsibilities: • Develop and validate immunoassay-based assays within TMB for all therapeutic areas and all phases of clinical development.
• Assist in the transition of biomarker assays from Basic Research to Clinical use by providing technical guidance on fit-for-purpose assay validation.
• Interface with scientists and physicians in early and late-stage clinical development to execute on biomarker strategies in clinical trials.
• Writing memos, final reports and publications summarizing data, and writing/updating lab SOPs.
• Serve as a subject matter expert in immunoassay-based assay development and validation, collaborating with project teams, biomarker leaders, clinical operations and regulatory affairs on the implementation of these assays in clinical trials.
