Your work will change lives. Including your own.
The Impact You’ll Make
As part of the Recursion Clinical Development team, you will work within a top-tier multidisciplinary team tasked with efficiently navigating Recursion’s clinical candidates to proof of concept and approval as safe and efficacious therapeutics for patients with unmet need. Your understanding of the regulatory, scientific and logistic aspects of the analysis of bioanalytical and biomarker samples will empower pre-clinical and clinical decision making across all target indications.
In this role, you will:
- Define and execute bioanalytical and biomarker strategies for compounds in support of Recursion’s clinical pipeline.
- Utilize your deep understanding of quantitative and qualitative bioanalysis to support the assessment of different types of analytes ranging from small molecules to proteins and DNA/RNA.
- Synthesize and interpret in-house and external data spanning the entire spectrum of drug discovery and development.
- Manage vendors that develop, validate and execute bioanalytical and biomarker assays for nonclinical studies and clinical trials.
You can expect to work on multiple projects at the same time in a fast-paced and exciting environment. On normal workdays, you can expect to:
- Interface with internal Recursion study and clinical teams to define and execute bioanalytical and biomarker strategy
- Liaise with external vendors to propose, trouble-shoot and validate analytical methods across a wide range of platforms including LC/MS/MS, ligand-binding, flow cytometry, DNA and RNA sequencing and more.Coordinate vendor selection, contracting, and budgeting for pre-clinical and clinical bioanalytical packages.
- Support pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic modelers with high quality, fit-for-purpose data.
- Partner with Clinical Operations to ensure appropriateness of sample collection, transport and analysis.
- Work with Quality and Regulatory Assurance to confirm analysis at the appropriate rigor to serve desired reporting requirements.
