Develop and optimize in vitro/ex vivo assays, analyze mechanistic data, drive early-stage programs, communicate strategy and results internally and externally, and collaborate cross-functionally to advance cancer therapies.

Lead and execute antibody discovery campaigns using single B-cell workflows (10x Genomics), optimize throughput and timelines, provide scientific leadership on screening and candidate progression, partner cross-functionally, and contribute to scientific visibility through publications and presentations.

Lead planning and medical oversight of ophthalmology clinical trials across phases, including study design, execution, monitoring, analysis, regulatory reporting, and publication. Collaborate with cross-functional teams and external investigators, support business development, and maintain scientific expertise. Travel approximately 25%.

Lead a team of quantitative pharmacology scientists to drive model-informed decision-making across an immunology portfolio, develop regulatory strategies and translational modeling, oversee regulatory submissions, mentor staff, set priorities and resources, and represent QP2 in cross-functional and business discussions to accelerate development and differentiation.

Lead translational respiratory discovery biology efforts by designing and executing complex in vitro and ex vivo studies, developing human-relevant model systems, integrating datasets for target validation and mechanism insights, and contributing to biomarker and translational strategies within cross-functional drug discovery teams.

Senior scientific leader who defines pharmacology and translational strategy, advises discovery teams, guides assay/model selection, supports SAR progression and BD&L, mentors scientists, manages portfolio resourcing and dashboards, and drives cross-functional alignment to accelerate preclinical-to-clinical translation across modalities.

Provide strategic and operational leadership for early immunology clinical programs globally. Oversee study planning/execution (Phase 1/early POC), site/investigator networks, cross-functional coordination, data integrity, document review, risk mitigation, talent development, and contribute to portfolio strategy and business development.

Serve as technical lead between company and external biologics manufacturing partners to plan and execute tech transfers, ensure commercial supply, lead cross-functional teams, manage validation and regulatory readiness, mitigate partner risks, and drive continuous improvement and capacity optimization.

Lead and direct global oncology clinical development from early planning through regulatory submissions and publications. Oversee study design, execution, monitoring, analysis, and cross‑functional collaboration; mentor senior clinical leaders; engage key opinion leaders and external investigators; support business development and strategic decisions. Travel approximately 20% for study management and collaborations.

Lead intake, prioritize, build, and operationalize scalable data products and automations for Discovery, Preclinical, and Translational Medicine Ops. Design and maintain data pipelines, implement data quality and monitoring, create dashboards and lightweight models, and drive adoption through training and governance. Collaborate with IT and cross-functional stakeholders to ensure secure, scalable, supportable solutions.

Lead AI- and structure-guided protein design efforts, applying generative and physics-based tools to design and optimize biologics. Build and benchmark computational pipelines and iterative design-test-learn cycles, integrate high-throughput data and predictive models, and partner across discovery teams to drive candidate progression.

Support preclinical drug discovery by planning and running in vitro/ex vivo DMPK studies for biologics and other modalities. Perform mammalian cell culture, bioanalytical and cell‑based assays, analyze and interpret data, present results to cross-functional teams, and contribute to ADME and bioanalytical science initiatives.

Coordinate design, planning and execution of early-phase clinical trials; oversee study conduct, safety assessment, data review, on-site monitoring, regulatory and clinical writing, and cross-functional project management to ensure compliance with GCP/ICH and study objectives.

Lead DMPK strategy for biologics, drug conjugates, and novel modalities. Design in vitro/in vivo PK and metabolic studies, analyze PK/PD and bioanalytical data, author regulatory documents, represent PDMB on project teams, mentor junior scientists, and support capability buildout and cross-functional decision-making.

Lead design, planning, and execution of early-phase immunology clinical trials (Phase 1/1b); provide scientific and operational oversight, safety/risk management, protocol and regulatory writing, cross-functional project leadership, site monitoring/training, and mentorship to junior staff to ensure GCP/ICH-compliant delivery of high-quality clinical data.

Lead program value management and governance across enterprise programs. Drive integration, reporting, and insights for executive decision-making; coach Program Success Leads; identify risks, dependencies, and operating model improvements; craft executive narratives and socialize program-level value.

Lead therapeutic learning strategy and design scalable, compliant learning experiences for pharmaceutical brands. Consult stakeholders, create learning blueprints across modalities, oversee vendors and Medical/Legal/Compliance reviews, manage budgets and timelines, measure learning effectiveness, and support delivery and localization to drive capability and business outcomes.
