Senior Scientist

Description

The Senior Scientist is a highly motivated senior-level scientist who leads the development, evaluation and implementation of state-of-the-art quantitative bioanalytical PK/ADA/soluble biomarker methods, and defines immunogenicity strategies and guides data interpretation to support biopharmaceuticals in the Cancer ImmunoOncology product development pipeline at Genentech.

The Senior Scientist leads the development of novel assay methods in support for Cancer ImmunoOncology biologics drug development candidates. These methods may be used to quantitate biotherapeutic levels, to detect and characterize immune responses evoked by the therapeutic, to measure biomarkers, or for biological characterization of drug candidates. This individual may lead experienced Scientists and Scientific Researchers who are actively working in the laboratory to develop a range of quantitative bioanalytical methods in support of biotherapeutics. The Senior Scientist will ensure the use of best practices including utilization of cutting-edge technology platforms, adoption of standardized practices by having a thorough understanding of relevant regulatory guidance and associated white papers, be familiar with automation systems as applicable, as well as, statistically based experimental design, in a safe working environment.

This individual is responsible for developing strategies for Health Authority interactions, writing and reviewing sections for regulatory filings related to bioanalytical methods, immunogenicity, characterization of biological activity and data interpretation. Additionally, this individual will represent the department on cross-functional project teams, lead bioanalytical or may lead pharmacology subteams.

This individual is expected to be a mentor for a recognized area of technical expertise within the department, and may be involved with assessment and implementation of new bioanalytical technologies, methods and immunogenicity strategies to meet the needs of an evolving Cancer ImmunoOncology portfolio that may include novel molecular entities and modalities. This individual may also be asked to lead technical teams or initiatives. A Senior Scientist typically manages a highly productive group of more junior staff. This will include proactive management of the scientific output of reports, and mentoring career development, along with strategic guidance and effective resource capacity management.
