3 weeks ago
About the Department
Our US Research & Development (R&D) hub, located in the Greater Boston area, brings together the best talent to drive life science innovation, from early research through late-stage clinical development. By combining the speed and agility of biotech with the quality, resources, and stability of a large pharmaceutical company, our US R&D hub will benefit from the best of both worlds to develop new medicines that meet the needs of patients.
Global Discovery and Development Sciences (GDDS) Boston, part of the US R&D hub, is building a new siRNA Nonclinical Development department with cross-functional scientific expertise, including toxicology, safety pharmacology, PKPD, ADME, outsourcing management, and non-clinical project management. The department manage the nonclinical development process from lead candidate selection to submission and registration of new siRNA-based therapies within our core business areas, including diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis and chronic kidney disease, and rare diseases. Our proprietary GalXCTM and GalXC-PlusTM siRNA technologies have the potential to selectively target and modulate proteins that cause or contribute to the disease and thereby address conditions that are difficult or impossible to treat with other modalities. The team is located in Lexington in close proximity to our Discovery and Development teams to facilitate collaboration and knowledge transfer throughout the lifecycle of a project.
