Associate Scientist - Immunology Translational Sciences
One of our large pharmaceutical clients is seeking an Associate Scientist for their dynamic team within the Immunology Translational Sciences group in Spring House, PA. The Immunology Translational Sciences team uses human-based data and tissues to support the end-to-end portfolio. TS has a broad remit stretching from support of discovery with human data to target selection, through development of novel decision-making biomarkers for early phase clinical trials, target-centric indication sequencing and prioritization, and biomarker support of regulatory filings. The group has expertise in biomarker development, disease biology research, and in the application of immunology and data science technologies to support drug discovery and development. The new hire will develop and execute in vitro and ex vivo assays to support translational research for Immunology portfolio programs. This position requires a highly motivated and skilled candidate that can operate in a collaborative environment with members of Translational Sciences and partner organizations. The Scientist will be responsible for the execution of high caliber biomarker plans, assay development and validation, and associated data generation from early and late-stage clinical studies.
