In this exciting role, you will create and execute novel assay strategies for all biotherapeutic modalities, designing experiments, troubleshooting problems, organizing and interpreting experimental results and performing follow-up experiments.

A Typical Day in the Role Might Look Like:

• Develop bioanalytical assay approaches for pharmacokinetic, biomarker assays and immunogenicity assays for a diverse pipeline of novel biotherapeutics, including monoclonal antibodies, bispecifics, antibody-drug conjugates (ADC), adeno-associated virus (AAV), CAR-T, RNA as well as drug target biomarkers to support non-clinical and clinical studies.
• Supervise a team of scientists in the development and validation of immunoassays for the measurement of drug, drug complexes and anti-drug antibodies to support new programs.
• Guides the designs and execution of immunoassays (PK, PD and ADA) by direct reports, based on protocols provided by literature, seminars and other scientists. Suggests troubleshooting experiments for assay-related problems follow-up experiments to further assay development and optimize assays.
• Routinely reviews data for multiple developmental projects, working on these projects simultaneously.
• Summarizes and presents results internally to management and externally in industry meetings.
• Writes/reviews assay validation protocols, reports and SOPs prior to submission to Quality Auditing (QA). Functions as Study Director for assay validation studies conducted by direct reports.
