San Francisco CA United States Alpha 9 Oncology Full time

We are seeking driven, creative, and entrepreneurial individuals to help shape our company. At Alpha-9, you’ll find a culture of collaboration, transparency, and innovation. We are passionate about developing new medicines to help people living with cancer, and we are looking to add to our growing team.

Vice President, Clinical Development About Us

Alpha-9 Oncology is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing radiopharmaceuticals for solid and hematologic malignancies. Alpha-9 has a portfolio of molecules entering clinical trials and a robust pipeline of additional targets for future development. With a strong cash position, raised from leading healthcare investors, Alpha-9 is poised to dramatically expand its team and accelerate its pipeline.

Radiopharmaceuticals, which enable internal delivery of radiation directly to tumor sites, are emerging as an exciting new class of cancer drugs. The field has evolved dramatically in the last few years, attributable to scientific advances and recent product launches. Radiopharmaceuticals are unique in that the same molecule can be used for imaging or therapeutic purposes, allowing doctors to visualize the molecule in patients prior to administration of therapy. The drug development cycle is also much shorter and capital efficient than traditional modalities.
