At DJS we are aspiring to create the next generation of antibody therapeutics, and in doing so, change patients’ lives. We love working with people who share this vision and are passionate about pushing the boundaries of science to improve human health. A critical part of achieving our vision is working with fantastic people, and as such we are looking for a Translational Biology Lead to join the team.
For this role, you should be excited about working in a small, dynamic team; always be keen to get involved; and be a team player. It is an excellent opportunity for someone to develop a translational biology platform which will drive key decisions for our inflammatory and fibrosis clinical drug development programs. Your first goal will be to work with preclinical models and human samples to characterise the biological mechanism of action of novel antibody drugs, and identify biomarkers of drug efficacy. These might be biochemical biomarkers, imaging techniques, or functional clinical readouts. You will then use these findings to work with our clinical team to select the patient populations most likely to benefit from our drugs for inclusion in clinical trial, and also develop the readouts of drug efficacy in human trials. This exciting role will therefore shape preclinical and clinical development strategies across our pipeline. Depending on applicant experience, there will be opportunities for leadership and management.
