Bicycle Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing a novel class of medicines, referred to as Bicycle® molecules, for diseases that are underserved by existing therapeutics. Bicycle molecules are fully synthetic short peptides constrained with small molecule scaffolds to form two loops that stabilize their structural geometry. This constraint facilitates target binding with high affinity and selectivity, making Bicycle molecules attractive candidates for drug development. The company is evaluating BT8009, a Bicycle® Toxin Conjugate (BTC®) targeting Nectin-4, a well-validated tumor antigen; BT5528, a BTC targeting EphA2, a historically undruggable target; and BT7480, a Bicycle Tumor-Targeted Immune Cell Agonist® (Bicycle TICA®) targeting Nectin-4 and agonizing CD137, in company-sponsored clinical trials. Additionally, the company is developing Bicycle® Radio Conjugates (BRC™) for radiopharmaceutical use and, through various partnerships, is exploring the use of Bicycle® technology to develop therapies for diseases beyond oncology.
Bicycle Therapeutics is headquartered in Cambridge, UK, with many key functions and members of its leadership team located in Cambridge, MA.
Culture is key and all Bicycle employees actively embrace and role model our company values:
- WeareAdventurous.We believe it’sthewaytodeliverextraordinaryresultsforourpatients.

- WeareOneTeam.Weonlysucceedwhenweworktogether.
The Research Scientist will be primarily responsible for overseeing external assay development projects at CROs and supporting data generation, analysis and interpretation of clinical biomarker assays for BTCs and TICAs in clinical development. The successful candidate will be a key member of a multifaceted team that works seamlessly across research and clinical functions to support the clinical biomarker strategies. They will utilize their strong background in oncology and assay development to build clinical biomarker assays including companion diagnostics and develop strategies for patient selection. This is not a bench-based position.

- Effectively communicate updates, ideas, observations, and data analyses with Translational and Global Program Teams
- In close collaboration with the clinical team, provide translational support to ongoing clinical trials through the management of clinical biomarker sample lifecycle including sample shipments, routine sample analysis, addressing sample issues at Central Labs and 3rd party vendors, and review of the biomarker sections of clinical lab manual
- Collaborate cross-functionally with other departments, including Medical, Clinical Science, Regulatory, Quantitative Pharmacology, Biometrics, and Clinical Operations
- Clinical NGS and biomarker assay development experience in solid tumor/liquid biopsies
- Experience with design, delivery, analysis, and interpretation of clinical biomarker assay techniques (eg comprehensive genomic profiling/NGS, ISH, and/or IHC)
- Working level understanding of in vitro diagnostics platforms
- Hands-on experience with the development, implementation, or performance of diagnostic assays, ideally companion diagnostics
- Demonstrated experience managing external projects at CROs
